<h2>Affordable Living</h2>

<p>Strong schools strengthen families, neighborhoods, and our local economy. I believe every child deserves a great education and every teacher deserves the resources and support to help students succeed.

<h2>Strong Public Schools</h2>

<p>Every Tennessean deserves to be treated with dignity, fairness, and respect. I will always oppose efforts to divide our communities or take away people's rights. We should be bringing people together, not driving neighbors, families, and coworkers apart, and I will always stand up for equal opportunity and fairness under the law. Click below for details.</p>
