Erin Pauling Paré (born 1979) is a Republican member of the North Carolina General Assembly representing the state's 37th House district.
Life and career
Paré grew up in Herndon, Virginia.[1] She has a B.A. in government and international politics and an M.A. in international commerce and policy from George Mason University.[1] She and her husband, Wayne, are the owners of a sporting goods store.[1] She lives in Holly Springs, North Carolina.[1]
Political career
Paré won the election on November 3, 2020, representing the Republican Party. She secured fifty percent of the vote while her closest rival, Democrat Sydney Batch secured forty-seven percent.[2][3]
Paré raised $224,642[4] in defeating the incumbent Sydney Batch, who raised $1,119,469.[5]
Paré faced some scrutiny for her failure to recuse herself during her vote on HB 83, which would allow veterans who served in the military for at least 20 years to be exempt from income tax on their retirement pay, a program for which her husband would qualify.[6]
