I want to personally welcome you to this exciting journey we're about to take together. I’m a proud father, a dedicated educator, and a passionate advocate for justice and equity—and I’m running for the United States House of Representatives.. For the past four years, I’ve had the privilege of teaching Civics and World History in the public school system helping young minds understand how the world works and how their government should work for them. Before that, I spent a decade coaching football at Winston-Salem State University, shaping not only athletes but future leaders. My passion for teaching goes hand in hand with my desire to create change—real, lasting change—one student, one classroom, and now, one community at a time.. My daughters are my greatest inspiration. As a single father, I’ve learned firsthand the importance of investing in the future of our children. Through their eyes, I’ve come to better understand the need for social justice and the urgency of ensuring a more equitable future. The challenges they face today drive me to stand up—not only for them but for every family in our district who deserves a brighter, more inclusive tomorrow. This campaign is about all of us. It’s about building a government that listens, learns, and leads with compassion and common sense. It’s about making sure our voices are not only heard but respected. Thank you for taking the time to learn more about who I am and what I stand for. I hope to earn your support on March 5th. Together, let’s shape a future our children will be proud to inherit.​With gratitude and hope, Marcus Pearson Candidate for U.S. House of Representatives​
