Why Vote Grady
Vote Grady to protect your faith, freedom, economic opportunities to build wealth and legacy, and your safety. For there is no faith, freedom, or opportunity to exercise if your environment lacks safety. Vote Grady to prevent Wilmington and the state of North Carolina from becoming the next New York City, Minnesota, California, or Venezuela.
My Plan for District 18
It’s simple: I’ll focus on advancing the ball on these four issues during my first term:
Safer Communities
Reduce downtown crime by creating innovative pathways for our youth to choose skills, service, and purpose over crime—building futures, not rap sheets
Real Career Pathways for Students
Support SB 579 for career-focused high school reforms that include high school-to-apprenticeship and trade pipelines connecting to high paying jobs.
Lower Cost of Living
Address rising housing and everyday costs, by using common-sense economic policies that increase supply, lower costs and taxes, support local businesses, which help residents build wealth and leave legacies.
Clean, Safe Water
Continue progress on PFAS cleanup to protect our health, our families, and our future.
How I’ll Lead:
- Collaborate with any solution driven Republican or Democrat to deliver results
- Focus on practical solutions not partisan politics
- Aim to deliver progress you can see and feel
- Bonus: I run inspired by the mindset and resilience of my Reconstruction-era Republican ancestors and to deliver results that improve people’s lives–not climb the political ladder to higher office.
