I look forward to working throughout our county to build strong coalitions of party members who believe in the principles upon which our Party was established. I am inspired by the words of President Barack Obama, "If you're walking down the right path and you're willing to keep walking, eventually you'll make progress." I am confident that with an eye towards the future and with a vision rooted in an embrace of our party's diversification, we will succeed."

I will continue to work hard to build a strong and active organization in Cary - one neighborhood and one precinct at a time. I am proud of the innovative and hard-working volunteers who I have recruited, trained and mentored who are now serving our Party as Precinct chairs, district coordinators and SEC members. With their help and yours, we will reclaim the House and Senate in North Carolina and in Washington!"
