Our Campaign's Top Issues

Affordable Living

We need practical solutions that lower costs for working families-expanding access to affordable housing, bringing down healthcare and prescription drug costs, and investing in strong public schools so families aren’t stretched thin. Click below for more details.

Strong Public Schools

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. I will always fight for strong public schools, responsible investment in education, and accountability for every taxpayer dollar. Click below for more details.

Public Safety & Gun Safety

As a law enforcement leader who oversaw Tennessee's gun permitting division, I've seen firsthand the consequences of gun violence and the importance of responsible firearm policies. I have spent my career working to save lives, and I believe we can protect our communities and respect the rights of responsible gun owners. Click below for more details.

Women’s Healthcare

Women and families should be able to make their own healthcare decisions. Period. Politicians should not be inserting themselves into deeply personal choices. I will always fight to protect these rights. Click below for more details.

Equality & Fairness

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.

Immigration & ICE

Local law enforcement should be focused on public safety, not used in ways that erode trust between officers and the communities they serve. Using local resources to target neighbors and not criminals is not only wrong, but costly. Click below for details.

Accountable, Common-Sense Leadership

People are tired of politicians who say one thing and do another. I’ll be clear about where I stand and I will be focused on getting real results. I will always listen to the residents of my district and lead with compassion and practicality. Click below for details.

Support for Small Businesses & Local Economy

As a small business owner, I understand the challenges small businesses face. I will support practical policies that help businesses grow, create jobs, and keep our local economy strong. Click below for details.

Community-Focused Leadership

This job is about showing up. Listening. Being accessible.
