Statement on The Indictment of President Trump

The decision by Alvin Bragg to prosecute President Trump for a minor crime while letting real criminals roam New York’s streets is one of the most disturbing political developments of my lifetime. This is an obvious example of a political prosecution by a Democrat district attorney with no standing to prosecute the President for the crimes he alleges. Mr. Bragg is bending the law and his own authority to prosecute the former President. President Trump will be acquitted of the charges, and hopefully, Mr. Bragg will face consequences for his egregious actions.

Statement on a Potential Run for Congress in 2024

Over ten years ago, when I was a freshman at Randleman High School, I ran a mock Congressional campaign for Clayton Ballentine for Congress 2024. During that time, over ten years ago, I had the support of many people in Randleman. The support was so overwhelming that I still get asked if I will run for Congress to this day. The outpouring of support was and continues to be humbling.

As I became older and wiser, I discovered various ways to get involved. Since signing up to volunteer with the Randolph County GOP I worked my way from a nobody to the Digital Director of two campaigns and the digital and social media advisor to many other campaigns.

I have gone from complaining about the political process to getting involved in the political process, from complaining about not seeing change to making change happen.

My journey from a 4-year high school freshman dropout to who I am today has been nothing short of remarkable. I owe it all to God and my family - especially my late father. Throughout the journey, I have always asked myself, would I ever run for Congress like people keep asking me?

Randolph County is responsible for sending some of the best stewards of Conservatism to Raleigh, Washington, Asheboro, and beyond. My home county's impact on national, regional, and local politics has been outstanding. Through it all, over the last seven years, I have had a front-row seat to see it all happen.

Many great people represent Randolph County. Therefore, my place in the political world is right here, at home, in Randolph County. As humbling as it is to hear the fantastic support I received, and will hopefully continue to receive, I will not be running for Congress.

I will continue to support Republicans throughout the country to ensure that the Republican Party remains on the front lines of protecting your rights from the predations of the Authoritarian Left. Although I will not represent my three-stoplight hometown in Washington DC as Congressman come 2025, know that I will always represent our hometown's values wherever my political journey takes me.

I will always be committed to improving the United States' future. This is a commitment that I will never abandon. No matter where I am, what I am doing, or whom I am working for, I will always be humbled and proud of the people who stood by and supported me. I appreciate your support, and I look forward to continuing to earn your friendship and support as I continue to preserve the beacon of freedom that our country is.

"America is, and always will be, a shining city on a hill.” – Ronald Reagan

Statement on the Moore County Electrical Grid Attacks

The attacks on the Moore County power facilities are a disgrace. There are absolutely zero excuses to attack a power grid system, especially in the winter when thousands of people rely on electricity for heat, warmth, and in some cases, survival.

The person or people responsible for such an attack deserve to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The attackers who carried out this attack should be held legally responsible for any injuries or deaths while the power is out.
