Alcohol Beverage Control
The manufacture, sale, and consumption of alcoholic beverages is big business in North Carolina. This committee offers the opportunity to work to create jobs and to promote the responsible, safe, and enjoyable use of alcoholic beverages in our state.
Appropriations
The Appropriations Committee is about setting NC’s priorities. It is where lawmakers craft the $24 billion+ budget.
Appropriations, Agriculture and Natural and Economic Resources
How do we invest in our farmers, economic development, state parks and more? How do we make NC the best place to live, work, play and visit. Those are the questions tackled in this committee.
Education – Community Colleges
Our community college system is a tremendous asset in helping our students learn the skills they need so they succeed in jobs that will allow them to earn a good living. This committee helps manage our community college system and provide policy updates to position our community colleges to meet the challenges of the future.
Environment
North Carolinians have a right to clean air and clean water. This committee works to protect our mountains and rivers for the next generation and beyond.
UNC BOG Nominations
The University of North Carolina System of higher education is led by a Board of Governors and as a former Assistant Vice Chancellor at UNCA I know how important it is to have a strong, proactive and well functioning board. This committee handles nominations for individuals to serve on the Board of Governors.
Wildlife Resources
Whether you are a bass fisherman, squirrel hunter, bird watcher or plant lover, this committee is critical to shaping how we care for and manage the natural resources of North Carolina.
