A 1999 Cum Laude graduate of UNC Charlotte’s Belk College of Business, Christian has spent fifteen years as an award winning political activist and consultant in both North and South Carolina...with a little radio talk show hosting and newspaper editing thrown in for good measure. A self-described "Republitarian", Christian is an unabashed advocate of traditional free market capitalism and views passage of the FairTax as the single most effective method to combat the social manipulation and corruption found in government today. When not stressing over yet another new law, Christian enjoys treasure hunting, obscure European power metal bands, good beer, and anything related to Carolina Panthers football...except talking about the 2001 season. He's removed that from memory.

While of obvious importance to the functioning of our government, the Judicial races in North Carolina have historically seen a tremendous drop-off in terms of votes cast as compared to offices higher up on the ballot. Among the reasons for this would be the “non-partisan” nature of these offices. Many who vote straight party ticket […]
