Kenneth Bentley

NC House 27

Why Kenneth

I’m running for office because I believe our community deserves leadership rooted in faith, family, and common sense—not political agendas or career politics.

I’m a Christian and a father, and like many parents, I’ve watched schools and government drift away from their core mission. Education should focus on reading, math, critical thinking, and character—not ideological programs that divide students and families.

I believe parents deserve a real voice. That’s why I support school choice and transparency, and why I oppose DEI programs that prioritize ideology over results. Those resources should be going toward teacher pay, classroom support, and student success.

I also believe in conservative, responsible economic policies—keeping taxes low so hard-working families, farmers, truck drivers, and small business owners can keep more of what they earn.

I stand with law enforcement, support public safety, and reject political violence and intimidation from any side. We should debate ideas—not silence one another. Disagreement does not make us enemies.

This campaign isn’t about division. It’s about accountability, respect, and restoring trust in leadership.

If you believe:
• Parents should come first
• Schools should teach, not indoctrinate
• Faith and values still matter
• Hard-working people deserve a voice

Then I ask for your support.

You are valuable. And together, we can do better.
