Meet Michael
Since his election in 2004, Michael Wray has been a respected leader within the Democratic House Caucus. As a consensus builder, he has consistently worked to advance public education, foster job creation, and secure investments for our local communities.
His behind-the-scenes efforts were pivotal in the passage of Medicaid Expansion, a measure that extended affordable healthcare coverage to over 20,000 patients in our district. This initiative also brought economic stability to our hospitals and healthcare providers.
Beyond his political work, Michael is a small businessman who owns an insurance agency and a hardware store in Gaston. He and his family are also involved in the timber industry and various farming operations.
A proud resident of Northampton County, Michael Wray's political mission has been to ensure that our region receives its fair share of state funding.
Michael's Priorities
In the first year of his term, my opponent has not had a single bill passed or been able to deliver a single dollar back to the district. That’s failed leadership. Throughout my tenure, my entire focus has been centered around what is best for the residents in Halifax, Northampton, and Warren Counties. I will continue to do that with a commitment to work across party lines to make sure our district gets what is deserved.
E D U C A T I O N
I will support investments in our public schools, community colleges and university system. I will work to make sure that our children get a quality education that will enable them to be successful and productive citizens. I strongly believe that education is an economic ladder that lifts up our society.
Workforce development programs are critical to preparing a labor force that can serve the needs of industry, business and commerce.
Our state universities are essential in helping to develop the next generation of leaders and entrepreneurs for our state. Making sure we have affordable tuitions is critical to provide a value-based learning environment.
H E A L T H C A R E
One of my top priorities will be protecting Medicaid funding for our working and low-income families. With federal budget cuts looming, it will be critical for state leaders to work together to protect the most vulnerable patients – making sure they continue to have access to affordable, quality healthcare.
Mental health will be another focal point. Our mental healthcare system is very fragile in rural North Carolina. I will work to increase funding in our regional mental healthcare system so that families in crisis can get the mental healthcare services they need.
J O B G R O W T H
Here’s a simple truth – we need more voices in the State Legislature who will stand up for rural North Carolina.
We need working partnerships with the economic developers to use our local assets to help recruit new industries, business, and commerce to rural North Carolina.
Making critical infrastructure investments will also be a component to our success. I will go back to Raleigh and fight for infrastructure funding in our three counties so we can grow our local economy and stop this migration of population out of our district.
W O R K F O R C E D E V E L O P M E N T
Throughout my tenure in the NC House, I have been a major proponent of workforce training programs. I have worked side by side with our community colleges to help fund meaning instructional programs that will help our region develop a trained workforce that can meet the needs of our state’s growing economic development and rural job creation.
