“We have more in common than what divides us, and it’s time our leaders remembered that.”


— Coach LeVon Barnes

Making Alamance County Livable Again.

You don't need a Coach to tell you what everyone is already feeling: everything is too damn expensive, from groceries to gas. Families shouldn’t have to choose between keeping the lights on and putting food on the table while corporations rake in record profits.

Coach Barnes's Plan:

Cap runaway utility rate hikes and hold Duke Energy accountable.

Expand state food support during federal shutdowns and emergencies.

Create a Carolina Family Affordability Credit for working families.

Invest in small-business growth and fair wages.

Making Raleigh Work for Us.

Raleigh politicians such as my opponent have shut the public out by closing inboxes, gerrymandering maps, and hiding votes.

Alamance County doesn’t need politicians who ‘follow leadership.’ We need leaders who follow you, the voter.

Coach Barnes's Plan:

Keep an always-open email inbox for every constituent.

End gerrymandering through an independent redistricting commission.

Require online posting of committee votes within 24 hours.

Protect whistleblowers who expose corruption.

Investing in Our Kids’ Futures.

Raleigh’s cuts to public schools are hurting Alamance County classrooms. Teachers are overworked, and kids are being left behind.

Parents want great public schools right down the street, not private vouchers that bleed our public dollars dry.

Coach Barnes's Plan:

Fully fund public schools and raise teacher pay.

Stop voucher schemes that drain public dollars from local schools.

Expand career and technical education options.

Fund after-school and nutrition programs for every child.

Protecting What We’ve Built Against Weather-Related Disaster.

From flooding in the Haw River to storm damage across Alamance, our infrastructure is aging while storms are getting worse.

Every year we delay fixing our roads and repairing our communities, families pay the price. Let’s rebuild smarter and stronger.

Coach Barnes's Plan:

Secure disaster-recovery funds to rebuild roads and homes.

Modernize stormwater systems to prevent flooding.

Invest in clean-energy and green jobs here at home.

Expand rural broadband access for families and farms.

Protecting Reproductive Freedom and Access to Care.

As a proud husband and girl dad, Coach Barnes believes that government has no place in the doctor’s office when it comes to personal choices. Those decisions belong to our loved ones and their medical professional, end of story.

Coach Barnes's Plan:

Protect abortion access and reproductive healthcare in state law.

Safeguard IVF and maternal care from political interference.

Expand family-planning and rural maternal-health services

  • Hold quarterly “Community Accountability Forums” in Alamance County.
  • Build bipartisan partnerships to get real results for local families.
  • Keep listening, learning, and leading — the same way he’s always done as a coach and teacher.
