I, Christopher Sessions, am a devoted family man, proud military veteran, and dedicated advocate for the principles of the Libertarian Party.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 Family First: With 16 years of blissful marriage to my wonderful wife, Grace Sessions, and the joy of raising four remarkable children, family is at the heart of everything I do. Our home in Johnston County has been our cherished haven for the past 5 years, and I am deeply committed to ensuring a bright future for our community.

🗽 Libertarian Values: My commitment to the principles of the Libertarian Party traces back to 2002. Currently serving as the Treasurer for the Libertarian Party of Johnston and Harnett County, I am dedicated to championing policies that resonate with the core values of our party—individual liberty, limited government, and personal responsibility.

🎖️ Military Service: With a distinguished 28-year career in the US Army, retiring with the rank of Sergeant Major, I bring a wealth of experience and a deep sense of duty to the table. My military journey has instilled in me the values of discipline, leadership, and service to others.

📚 Educational Background: Armed with a Master of Business Administration (MBA) from Franklin University, I am equipped with the knowledge and skills necessary to navigate the complexities of today's world. This educational foundation, combined with my military background, positions me to contribute meaningfully to our community's growth and prosperity.

🌐 Community Matters: I am passionate about making a positive impact in North Carolina. Through my service in the military, my dedication to libertarian principles, and my commitment to family, I am ready to work tirelessly to create a community that thrives on individual freedom, fiscal responsibility, and a shared vision for a prosperous future.

Issues 

1. Drugs

As a Libertarian, I believe in body autonomy and that adults should be able to make their own decisions about what they put in their bodies. Unfortunately, I recognize that the legalization of drugs is not a realistic goal in North Carolina in the near future. Therefore, I prioritize efforts in areas where progress can be made: 

Medical Marijuana:

As a veteran, I have witnessed the life-changing effects of marijuana on my family, friends, and fellow veterans. I advocate for the legalization of medical marijuana, recognizing its efficacy in pain management, PTSD, TBI treatment, and reducing prescription medication dependency. Individuals seeking relief should not face criminal penalties, and access to effective treatment should be a right without legal repercussions.

Recreational Marijuana: 

I support the legalization of recreational marijuana in North Carolina. I believe that adults should have the right to make their own decisions about what substances they consume. I also believe that the state should not interfere with the personal choices of its citizens, and that the government should not be in the business of criminalizing adults for using a substance that 57% of North Carolinians support.

Drug Decriminalization 

The criminalization of drug possession should be replaced with non-criminal citations. I believe that drug use should be treated as a health issue, not a criminal issue, and that resources should be allocated to providing treatment and support services for those struggling with addiction. I believe that criminalizing drug possession disproportionately affects minority communities and only serves to further entrench poverty and inequality.

2. Limiting the Governor's Emergency Authority:

We cannot allow a repeat of the tyranny experienced in 2020, where one person wielded unlimited emergency powers, essentially transforming themselves into a de facto dictator. Emergency powers are meant to address immediate crises, not to serve as a carte blanche for unchecked authority. It is crucial that we strike a balance between responding swiftly to emergencies and upholding the principles of our democracy. To achieve this, we must ensure that emergency powers are only utilized as a temporary measure until the legislature can convene to make informed and representative decisions.

3. School Choice:

The global pandemic has highlighted the need for a more adaptable and student-centric approach to education. I support empowering parents with the freedom to choose the best educational method for their children, fostering a system that is responsive to individual needs and preferences.

4. Eliminate the State Income Tax:

I propose the elimination of state income tax to stimulate economic growth and individual prosperity. This move will attract businesses and skilled professionals, creating a more competitive and business-friendly environment. Individuals retaining more of their earnings will promote consumer spending and saving, contributing to a robust and dynamic local economy.

5. Rank Choice Voting 

Rank Choice Voting is a modern, innovative voting system that allows voters to rank their choices in order of preference. This system is designed to give voters more control over their vote and to ensure that the winning candidate has majority support. In North Carolina, Rank Choice Voting would ensure that all votes are counted, regardless of party affiliation, and that the winning candidate has the support of a majority of voters. This system would also make it easier for candidates to reach out to a wider range of voters, as it would be easier to build coalitions of support. Ultimately, Rank Choice Voting would help to create a more democratic and representative government in North Carolina.

There is NO discernable difference between the Republican party and the Democrat Party in that they both will inherently increase the power of government to solve “problems” at the cost of individual liberties.

1. Our National Debt is Unsustainable

Both Democrats and Republicans have equally contributed to this debacle. Publicly they say they are competing ideologies. In practice, there is no discernable difference in outcome. In 2016, the national debt was approx. $20 trill. Since then, we’ve had two presidents, one from each party, majorities in the Senate and the House of Reps flipped back and forth, and yet, eight years later, a jointly earned result.

2. End Marijuana Prohibition

I support ending the federal prohibition on Marijuana via its designation as a schedule I drug in the Controlled Substances Act. Individual rights should not be judged as deserving less protection when the behavior does not hurt any other citizen’s rights. Government persecution often results in decreased economic opportunities for the persecuted, and an additional stream of revenue for law enforcement.

3. Yes to School Vouchers

Parents should have the last word on place and content of their children’s education. The ideology being promulgated by the Dept. of Education is contrary to the changing realities of modern life. The pace of technologic advancement is opening up education solutions faster than the antiquated central education provider can keep up with. The specific per student cost of education should be appropriately distributed to whichever, reasonably verified, educational outfit can best meet the child’s needs.

4. No to Emergency Powers and Immunities

The COVID-19 Experience should have been enough to wake everybody up. Our government, while perhaps not lawfully, did legally demand from us and intimidated the population into lockdowns. The scariest part is that they currently still possess this very same capability, and as we saw, they have the audacity and brazenness to do it again. Furthermore, no government employee or otherwise functionary should be granted any immunities when trampling a citizen’s constitutional rights. Being forced to indemnify the very public officials which were the cause of calamity is an insult.

Bob Drach - North Carolina Auditor

Bob Drach is your best choice for North Carolina's State Auditor. As a former Certified Management Accountant, he has experience in financial reporting, information systems management and organizational leadership -- over 20 years combined in the public and private sectors.

The State Auditor protects the citizens of North Carolina from abuses of power and instances of incompetence that unfortunately happen in government. Because the government is dominated by Republicans and Democrats, it would be unwise1 to have a Republican or a Democrat as the Auditor.

Bob is currently the Treasurer of a private company in Charlotte. He has earned multiple professional certifications² and taught in the public schools. He is uniquely both a former Peace Corps volunteer and graduate of a highly competitive MBA program.
