PurposeAger, a local farmer, is running for this open western North Carolina seat on a platform pairing support for small farmers with Medicare expansion and hurricane-recovery funding.

Economy
On the economy, Ager's platform page supports programs for first-time homebuyers and public-service employees, tax credits for energy efficiency, action against monopolization in food and utility industries, expanded childcare grants and child tax credits, a tax code where "folks at the top pay their fair share," and eliminating taxes on tips.

Health
On health care, the platform pledges to defend Medicare and Medicaid from cuts, expand Medicare to cover dental, vision, and home- and community-based care, protect Medicare's drug-price negotiating power, implement a public option, and expand mental-health services.

Agriculture/Food
As a farmer himself, Ager's platform promotes small farmers and entrepreneurial agriculture, backs local grass-fed beef in school meal programs, supports young-farmer initiatives including land ownership and right-to-repair legislation, and pledges to strengthen SNAP and WIC.

Security
On security, the platform calls for increased funding for firefighter pay and rural fire stations, more investment in law-enforcement training and compensation, and improved crisis preparedness.

Immigration
On immigration, the platform calls broadly for "comprehensive immigration reform that treats people with dignity," without further itemized detail.

Infrastructure
On infrastructure, the platform prioritizes Hurricane Helene recovery funding, protecting national parks and public lands from sale, and expanding rural broadband and cell coverage.

Governance
On governance, the platform proposes banning congressional stock trading, campaign-finance reform targeting dark money, stronger ethics and anti-corruption rules, and reducing burdensome regulation.
