I'm Steve Moree and I'm running for NC House Seat 94, representing Wilkes and Alexander Counties.
I am a registered Democrat and I have been for nearly 50 years, but that does not define my identity. In fact, if you were to ask me to describe myself, it might be the last thing on the list. I am proudly a man of faith and the son of a Southern Baptist minister that served Wilkes and Alexander County churches for more than five decades.
I am a husband, and teammate with my wife Lynne for over 43 years. I am a father to two sons and a grandfather (I prefer 'G') to three beautiful granddaughters.
I am an Alexander Central Cougar, Class of 1975. I am an Appalachian State Mountaineer, Class of 1979 and again with a Masters of Education in 1990 and an EDS in 1992.
I am a former educator in the public schools of Wilkes and Alexander County, having served as a teacher, coach, assistant principal and principal at several schools in both counties. I am proud to have served the students at East Alexander Middle School, Alexander Central, North Wilkesboro Elementary, Woodward Elementary, West Wilkes High School and Wilkes Central High School.
I am proud to have lived in this district since I was a young man and happy to call Wilkes and Alexander Counties home.
I had a wonderful career in public education and I am not a politician. I am lucky to have worked with some of the most dedicated and hard-working teachers and administrators in the state of North Carolina and I am tired of their best interests and the best interests of the students they serve, being ignored by our representatives in Raleigh.
I am disheartened by today's political culture. I don't want my representatives in Raleigh to be Team Blue or Team Red, I want them to be Team Wilkes and Team Alexander.
And so I decided to run for NC House from the 94th District because I am proud to be on Team Wilkes and Team Alexander.
