ELECT NICOLE QUICK
I am running because I believe the interests of our state’s people should come before the interests of corporate CEOs and shareholders. I am running for the sake of my child and all of North Carolina’s children.
ELECT NICOLE QUICK
WHY I'M RUNNING
Because North Carolina Can’t Wait Any Longer
As a mother, I worry about my child’s future. The North Carolina we live in today is very different than it was when I was growing up here. The state that created Smart Start is falling behind the rest of the nation in terms of the quality and safety of our schools. We’re allowing our lakes and rivers to be polluted and our water supplies to be threatened, and we’re not holding polluters accountable. Many of our citizens have to decide on a monthly basis whether they can afford their medications. I am running because I believe the interest of our state’s people should come before the interests of corporate CEOs and shareholders. I am running for the sake of my child and all of North Carolina’s children.

Once Tad was in school, Nicole went on to work as a one-on-one aid in the classroom with him and, later, to lead teacher instruction and workshops focused on working with children with autism in inclusive classrooms.
