Mary Beedle

Mary studied nursing at the University of Arkansas and University of Arkansas for Medical Sc at Little Rock. 

Mary Beedle's campaign for State Representative is her first run for public office. 

- Believes access to clean air and water is essential for the health and prosperity of North Carolinians. Supports prioritizing measures to protect these resources for current and future generations.

Believes the healthcare bill is "not thought out by any medical people" and is a "knee jerk" reaction.

The candidate's website says, "Other people that feel vulnerable wear masks like a blanket as they have been rattled by a death during COVID."

Believes banning masks outdoors without thorough consideration could criminalize vulnerable individuals who wear them for health or emotional reasons.

The candidate's website says, "One year ago, the General Assembly passed their dangerous abortion ban, stripping women of their reproductive freedom across North Carolina. The ban has put critical reproductive health care out of reach for many women, particularly those who live in rural areas, and it has interfered with doctors' ability to make sound medical decisions for their patients."
