Ken's priorities are the kitchen-table things this district actually needs, kept local and practical, not partisan.
Housing, groceries, and everyday costs are squeezing families. Ken will fight for real property-tax and cost-of-living relief, and for the affordable housing he's already delivered locally.
Matthews was promised the Silver Line light rail and got cut out of the deal. Ken fought that, and he'll fight for the infrastructure and fair share this district was promised.
Back our first responders and keep our neighborhoods safe. Public safety isn't a slogan, it's the job.
Grow responsibly, protect the character of Matthews and Mint Hill, and make sure new development pays for the roads and schools it needs.
This is the exact seat whose 2023 party-switch created the Republican supermajority. Voters elected a Democrat, then watched her flip, break her promises, and shortchange her own town.
"I've lived in Matthews my whole life. I'm not going to Raleigh to switch teams, I'm going to fight for ours."

On the Matthews Board of Commissioners, Ken helped secure $1.5 million for affordable housing, delivered the largest parks investment in 15 years, and helped recruit an advanced-manufacturing campus bringing new jobs to the region.
He rose to Mayor Pro Tem and fought for Matthews' fair share on the light rail the town was promised. That's a neighbor who shows up, keeps his word, and gets things done.
Meet KenNC-105 is a true toss-up, and the district voted for the Democrat at the top of the ticket. Flipping it back protects the governor's veto and gives this district an honest voice again. It comes down to turnout, and to you.
