Meet Christine
I was raised in a proud military family, seeing firsthand the bravery of those who selflessly serve this great Nation. I share your values of family, faith, and freedom. My personal background and professional experience have laid a strong foundation for me to understand your priorities and be well-positioned to create effective solutions and policies for the problems facing North Carolina and America today.
As an Army wife at Fort Bragg, I earned my Bachelor’s in Criminal Justice from Fayetteville State University, a Historically Black University. I then worked hard to earn my Master’s in Public Policy while taking care of premature twins.
I was previously appointed as the Emergency Manager for North Carolina’s Judicial Branch, and I proudly serve as a member of North Carolina’s statewide Emergency Response Team. I am trained and battle-tested in preventing and responding to any number of emergency situations, including attacks against our critical infrastructure.
As a former law enforcement officer, I understand that Constitutional liberties protect us, law and order are an essential part of society, and we must protect our U.S. borders and democracy around the world. And as a mother of three, I also know we need strong leadership to refocus education away from liberal Critical Race Theory doctrines, lower taxes to ensure the quality of life for our families, and protection of our constitutional liberties and freedoms that protect the democracy of America.
