Ensure every child has access to quality education

After leaving the State House in 2013, Deborah returned to the full time practice of law, serving as the General Counsel for GoTriangle, a regional authority providing transportation services that connect Wake, Durham and Orange counties, and ensuring access to high quality public transit. In the Senate, Deborah will take on the tough issues. She has spent her entire career fighting for the citizens of North Carolina, and she is ready to take that fight to the U.S. Senate where she will work to create a better business environment that enhances economic security, ensure every child in North Carolina has access to quality education, and protect the equal opportunity that America was built upon.
