Unlike a lot of political candidates who campaign on slogans and vague promises, the Issues section of this website clearly lays out Mr. Perry’s positions on the most pressing issues of the New Hanover County School District. However, since voters usually don’t have the time to read a “full length dissertation” during their candidate research, we can’t always cover every topic or go into the full-length details on the topics that are covered. This Video Blog will attempt to fill this gap for those voters wanting to hear more.
We plan to add new Video Blog posts every week during the campaign. So be sure to bookmark this page and continue to visit the website on a regular basis. And, if you have not done so already, please sign up for the Campaign Newsletter to receive regular updates on the campaign.

Proven Patriot
I am a staunch Constitutional Conservative. I have a history of fighting vigorously for our individual and constitutional rights. You can count on me to continue that advocacy once I am elected to the school board.
Committed Conservative
Like the great President Reagan, I believe in a small government that protects individual rights and preserves the American Dream for all of its citizens. I will fight vigorously for academic excellence in our schools, that will untap the potential of every individual student.
Independent Innovator
My fellow Republican school board candidates all bring something positive to the table. However, as a problem solver and independent innovator, I am uniquely qualified to serve on the New Hanover County Board of Education. Learn why...

Hiring a Law Firm Committed to Proactive Transparency

Doing Right by Mosely Academy Students
Doing right by current Mosely students should not be a partisan endeavor. It's just the right thing to do. I support at least keeping the Mosely Academy open long enough so that all current Mosely students can graduate.

Eradicating DEI from our School District
As a Christian I believe that every human being is made in the image of God and is equally loved by him. The goals of diversity and inclusion are noble enough. But these virtues will only come through natural means and a shared vision. They won't come from DEI programs that divide us.
The Danger of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
In this very interesting interview by John Stossel (one of my heroes!), we find out that the expensive DEI programs used in companies and in our schools are actually responsible for causing division, and, as a result, less diversity and inclusion.
