In 2011, Tami was moved by the risks posed against the causes of life, family, and liberty by increasingly aggressive liberal activists and an attitude of political correctness. In response, she felt called to create a non-profit organization known as the North Carolina Values Coalition. The coalition was established with the goal of influencing elections by electing pro-life, pro-family, and pro-religious liberty candidates and of enacting and protecting laws that recognize the sanctity of life, the primacy of marriage and family, and the fundamental freedom of religious liberty. Since its inception, Tami and the NC Values Coalition have been on the front lines of North Carolina’s major social and political battles.
Some of Tami’s additional experience includes:
– State Chairwoman for Susan B. Anthony List (SBA List) and Women’s Speak Out PAC
– Award winning Allied Attorney with Alliance Defending Freedom
– Chairwoman of Vote FOR Marriage NC, the official referendum committee that successfully passed the North Carolina Marriage Amendment
– Lobbyist in the General Assembly for 17 years on pro-family and business issues
– Attorney licensed in North Carolina, Arizona, and Oklahoma
– Former Board Member of a pro-family policy group and Trinity Academy of Raleigh, a Classical Christian School in North Carolina
– Former Board Member of the Ethics & Religious Liberty Council of the Southern Baptist Convention
– Member of the Council of the NC Bar Associationās section on Constitutional Rights
Tami lives in Raleigh with her husband Craig and is the mother of two grown children, and the grandmother of four precious grandchildren.
