One test for every vote: does it lower your costs and put NC-08 first? Here's where Colby stands.
The whole reason Colby's running: it costs too much to live a normal life in NC-08. Housing, groceries, health care, child care are all up. He'll take on whoever's driving those costs up.
Manufacturing is the #1 employer here, more than 50,000 jobs, and Colby's spent his life in the trades. He runs a construction company. He's pulled the permits, waited on the inspectors, and made payroll while Washington's red tape drove his costs up. He knows how to get government out of the way of people who build things.
Colby will work across the aisle when it's in North Carolina's best interest. When Senator Thom Tillis warned that Medicaid cuts would put our rural hospitals and hundreds of thousands of North Carolinians at risk, he voted no. Mark Harris voted for those cuts twice, and even said they didn't go far enough. That puts coverage for roughly 687,000 North Carolinians and the rural hospitals our communities depend on at risk. That's not conservative. That's extreme.
Secure the border. The chaos and the fentanyl come through a broken system. And then make it fair.
Keep our promise to those who served, with results, not just speeches.
Whether it's Nancy Pelosi or Mark Harris, members of Congress shouldn't be trading stocks while serving in office, and most Americans agree. Mark Harris owns stock in Blackstone, the Wall Street firm that has been buying up single-family homes across North Carolina. Blackstone's billionaire CEO is also one of Harris's biggest donors. Ban politicians from trading stocks while in office, regardless of party affiliation.
Parents are a kid's first teacher. Colby's own parents homeschooled him, so he knows a child does best when parents are involved.
