PRIORITIES

HEALTHCARE

Frank joined his colleagues in the House to pass a budget that aims to ensure a healthy future for North Carolinians.

It includes funding for rural hospitals and incentives for doctors and nurses to serve underserved areas, steps to combat the opioid crisis, wage increases for workers assisting individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and funding for resources and services for women experiencing under-supported pregnancies.

CRIME

Frank believes in focusing on crime prevention as a first step to reducing crime in our communities. Through strong legislation that deters criminal activity, and the creation of a district rich in resources and opportunity, crime can be prevented.

Frank believes in holding criminals accountable for their wrong-doings by providing law enforcement with the support and resources they need to investigate crimes, make arrests, and secure convictions.

INFRASTRUCTURE

In order to see continued economic success and to support our growing population, we must address the infrastructure needs of North Carolina. It is critical that we maintain our highways, roads, and bridges, modernize our water system, and ensure that every American has access to high speed broadband internet.

In neglecting these issues, we neglect to support an expanding economy, to safeguard public health and allow for population growth, and we exclude people from participating in a digital world.

Frank will push for the federal government to give maximum flexibility to NC when administering funds for infrastructure so we can decide at the state level where the funds are most needed, and will make sure that our rural communities are not forgotten in the rebuilding and expansion process.

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

N.C. continues to rank best in business in the United States thanks to fiscally conservative leadership. Through prudent management of tax payer dollars, and common-sense tax reform, it will remain a top economic development destination. District 32 is seeing an enormous amount of growth due to investments in infrastructure and workforce development.
EDUCATION: K-12

Education is the foundation of any great society and as a member of the House K-12 Education Committee, it is a top priority for Frank. Through his many visits to schools throughout the district, Frank has built relationships with local educators to ensure that students have the necessary tools and resources to be successful.

Frank believes in investing in students, empowering parents, and ensuring a quality education for every child. During his time in the legislature, Frank voted in favor of a budget that provides historic funding for K-12 education-totaling 60 percent of the entire budget. He supported a plan that expanded school choice, creating classroom transparency, and directed more resources for school safety and health.

SECONDARY EDUCATION

Frank is the primary sponsor for House Bill 348 which if passed will grant Vance-Granville Community College $11.5 million to build a 60,000 sqft Applied Center for Advanced Manufacturing.

The center would support industry training needs in the areas of industrial maintenance, mechatronics, electronics, welding and fabrication, serve as an advanced manufacturing company recruitment benefit and support collaborative high school and college career and technical education partnerships.

The new center would allow Vance-Granville Community College to expand existing programs, as well as the opportunity to expand new program offerings.
