To the Editor Duplin Journal: 

Friends and citizens of House District 4, Duplin/Wayne Counties

As the result of the tremendous encouragement from many of my constituents in District 4 and a host of others across the entire state including a goodly number of my colleagues in the North Carolina General assembly, I am withdrawing my decision to retire at the end of my eighth term and seek re-election in November 2026.

Thank you for your friendships and loyal support over the last fifteen years. Please know that my commitment to promote, support, and protect agriculture and our hard working family farmers in District 4 and across our entire state is AS STRONG AS EVER!
