Straight Shooter With an Independent Voice

Grier Martin is an independent advocate for our city, standing up to the old time politicians. He fought to enact new ethics laws and from his first day on the job refused to accept gifts, meals, anything from lobbyists – and is standing up to protect education and our environment. That’s why the N&O called Martin “a straight shooter with an independent voice.”

Fighting for Healthcare

North Carolinians deserve access to health care.  Yet, the General Assembly has refused to follow the lead of Democratic and Republican legislatures around the country by expanding Medicaid.  Grier is fighting in the General Assembly to change this and bring health care to hundreds of thousands of people throughout the state.

Leading by Example

As an Afghanistan veteran, Martin leads the way to improve life for veterans and their families. He started the bipartisan Military Veterans Caucus, and fights to help veterans get access to health care, especially for traumatic brain injuries (TBI), help veterans avoid foreclosure, and provide more educational opportunities. For his work the Disabled American Veterans named him their “Legislator of the Year.”


Smart Investments

Families in Raleigh are tightening their budgets, and so must the state. But, the devastating cuts of the last few years have gone too far.  Even in tough times investing in education must remain a top priority. It is the key to jobs, economic recovery, and our future.
