2026 North Carolina General Election

Economy - Economic freedom is essential to human liberty and personal success. Capitalism is the only economic system that will allow this country to uphold the principles of individual freedom. Free market driven solutions provide the best mechanisms for most issues. If given the alternative, free-markets solutions should be used instead of government solutions. NC is competing in a global economy. We must create the environment for a growing economy by minimizing regulations and keeping taxes low to support businesses of all sizes.

Statewide Tax Cuts & Raises: Enacted $1.2 billion in tax cuts and secured raises for teachers/state employees.
Health Care: Voted for Medicaid expansion and funding, improved access through inner-state license compacts, patient protection, and cost reductions.

Information submitted to Ballotpedia through the Candidate Connection survey on April 20, 2022. The candidate-authored response states: “I believe in the sanctity of human life. I do not believe in abortion without restrictions or the use of tax funds to provide abortions. Abortion should be reserved for the rare cases of rape, incest or to protect the life of the mother.” A targeted search found no newer contrary statement; his campaign's 2025 accomplishments page says he “Championed Protecting Life,” but does not describe a different abortion policy.

Health Care: Voted for Medicaid expansion and funding, improved access through inner-state license compacts, patient protection, and cost reductions.
Education: Allocated $700M for school construction, safety grants, and raises for teachers and support staff.

Major Pitt County Funding: Secured nearly $500M for ECU/ECU Health and $70M for new health facilities.
Statewide Tax Cuts & Raises: Enacted $1.2 billion in tax cuts and secured raises for teachers/state employees.

Reeder emphasized that his re-election campaign will focus on continuing to deliver results for families, local businesses, and the entire region.

“My priorities remain clear: protect taxpayer dollars, raise teacher pay to the highest in the southeast, protect and fully fund Medicaid, support law enforcement and first responders, and ensure that our community has a strong healthcare system,” Reeder said. “I’m running again because I believe in this community—and because we deserve leadership that listens, responds, and gets things done.”

Education - North Carolina has a long tradition of excellence in education from primary through college, either the community college or university system, or a technical degree. Our students should have access to the best teachers and schools to prepare them to compete in a global economy. We need to focus on the core subjects of reading, writing, math, science, and history. Our schools should build up individual students for success and not divide them. I support charter schools and parental choice for education. Salaries for teachers must be competitive and reward the teachers who perform the best. We should measure teachers on performance, student achievement, and their own career development.
