I know from working with farmers in NC that most of them want to do it right.
But corruption is so normalized that people who try to do it right struggle. People see that & avoid investing in agriculture here.
That's a leadership failure. We deserve better.
That's why I'm running for North Carolina's Commissioner of Agriculture.
We have one of the largest rural populations in the US, and our leadership has left us behind. It doesn't have to be this way!
