At the heart of Tennessee lies a spirit of community, integrity, and hard work. As your Congressman, I will be committed to restoring trust in our government by advocating for a ban on stock trading by members of Congress. This is not only about ethics, it’s about ensuring that our leaders prioritize the needs of their constituents over their own personal gain. We must stop the chaos that has plagued Washington and focus on creating a government that works for all of us—with a Representative who listens, responds, and takes action on the issues that matter to you. Together, we can foster a political climate that values transparency, accountability, and common sense solutions.

Too many families in Tennessee are feeling the squeeze as the cost of living continues to rise, and our current leaders in Washington are failing to address this crisis. It’s becoming increasingly difficult for hardworking individuals and families to make ends meet, let alone get ahead. We cannot stand by and let this trend continue. I am dedicated to championing affordability for Tennessee families, farmers, and seniors. This means advocating for policies that lower everyday expenses, such as healthcare, housing, and groceries. We also must empower workers by standing up for the right to organize and strengthening labor protections. By working together, we can create a future where every Tennessean can thrive. I will never forget where I came from, and I will fight to ensure that our economic policies reflect the values and needs of our community.

Access to affordable healthcare is a basic right, yet many, especially in our rural communities, face significant challenges. I am committed to fighting for lower healthcare costs and ensuring that our rural hospitals receive the support they need to stay open and serve our families effectively. Protecting these vital healthcare resources is essential to improving health outcomes for all residents. We must work to eliminate barriers to care, expand health insurance coverage, and invest in preventive services to keep our communities healthy. Together, we can build a healthcare system that prioritizes patients over profits and ensures that everyone has the care they deserve.
