In this episode of Civic & Community Conversations, Charlotte business owner and fractional CFO Tamika L. Porter sits down with LaKesha Womack, Democratic candidate for North Carolina’s 14th Congressional District.
Womack discusses her path to public service, why she decided to run for Congress and what she has heard while speaking with residents across the district. She identifies accountability and affordability as two of voters’ most pressing concerns and shares her positions on healthcare, housing, education, economic development and support for working families.
The conversation also explores the needs of NC-14’s rural, suburban and urban communities; government oversight and public safety; privacy and surveillance; political division; and how Womack says she would remain accessible to constituents if elected.
Beyond policy, Womack reflects on how campaigning has affected her personally, the role faith plays in her leadership and the legacy she hopes to leave through public service.
Topics discussed include:
• Why LaKesha Womack is running for Congress
• Accountability and affordability in North Carolina
• Healthcare costs and Medicare for All
• Housing assistance and generational wealth
• Economic investment in rural communities
• After-school programs and senior transportation
• Funding for public education
