CAROLINa ROOTS

I grew up in a middle class family headed by Reid and Betty Jo Haywood, who were born and raised in Charlotte. Because of my father’s career in the computer industry they traveled around the country, but eventually settled in Greensboro, NC, which is where I spent my formative years along with a brother and two sisters. I met my wife Brenda at work and after many months of constant pestering she agreed to date me. We just celebrated our 37th anniversary and though we consider Greensboro to be our hometown, we resettled in Summerfield 21 years ago.

BLUE COLLAR ENTREPRENUER

For the past 37 years I have been a successful small business owner selling industrial maintenance supplies to commercial and government accounts. I am blessed with a strong work ethic which has helped me to survive the constantly evolving business landscape and the occasional recession. I have developed a reputation for being able to get things done. I do the hard things and enjoy the challenges that come with tackling tough projects.

CONSERVATIVE LEADERSHIP

I have been politically aware since my teens and cast my first vote for Ronald Reagan. In 2009 I became a team leader with Conservatives 4 Guilford County. We organized events and campaigns in which we advocated for conservative candidates and causes. I have also had the privilege of serving in many roles in the Republican Party, including representing the NC GOP as a delegate to the RNC Conventions in Cleveland and Charlotte and had the honor to preside as Chairman of the 6th Congressional District.

In 2019 the 6th District was redrawn to favor the Democrat Party. I stepped up so that voters would have a conservative choice on the ballot. Though the outcome was less than desirable, I was proud of my effort and wouldn’t hesitate to do it again.

The Constitution is not a living document, we must protect it from activist judges and their biased personal interpretations. I believe the Republican Party and its platform are the last best hope for our country’s survival and with the newly redrawn district felt it was time to take the leap from GOP activist to candidate. Mine will be a positive and civil campaign and I humbly ask for your support in my effort to become your next Representative in the US House of Representatives.
