Positions and priorities

A position shows what the candidate said—not FactVote's endorsement.

Each summary is supported by the candidate's own words from a campaign source, direct candidate response, or official primary record retained with the profile.

It’s time for a dose of the right medicine.

Candidate position

The Biden administration's reckless embrace of far-left, open-border policies has resulted in a crisis at our southern border, posing a direct threat to the safety of Americans. East Tennessee, though miles away, is not immune to the consequences of this failed approach. I am committed to securing our border and restoring law and order by reinstating effective Trump-era immigration policies. This includes completing the border wall, defunding "sanctuary" cities, ending "catch and release," and re-implementing "remain in Mexico." It's time to prioritize the safety of American communities over political posturing.

2nd Amendment

Candidate position

Your God-given Constitutional right to keep and bear arms is under assault by the Radical Left. I stand as a staunch defender of your 2nd Amendment rights, essential for self-defense, recreation, hunting, and protection against a tyrannical government. In Congress, I've tirelessly fought against those on the left seeking to undermine these rights. I will continue to stand firm against any attempts to strip law-abiding citizens of their fundamental right to bear arms.

Opioid Crisis

Candidate position

The opioid crisis has devastated our nation, hitting close to home in Northeast Tennessee. I advocate for a comprehensive approach, tackling illegal drugs at the border, increasing funding for rehabilitation, and holding those accountable for creating this crisis. Together, we can combat this epidemic and ensure a safer, healthier future for our communities.

National Security

Candidate position

Under Joe Biden, our nation's security is at risk. I will champion America First policies, as implemented by President Trump, to restore our global dominance. In Congress, I will prioritize providing our military with the necessary tools, training, and resources to safeguard our country from threats posed by adversaries like Russia, China, and Iran. Peace through strength must be our guiding principle once again.

America First

Candidate position

China must be held responsible, not in a meaningless motion passed by members of Congress, but with economic realities. I would support a bill to punish China for what they have cost Americans and citizens worldwide because of their negligence. Additionally, I would support more sanctions on the Chinese government. I stand with President Donald Trump’s “America First” agenda.

Jobs & the Economy

Candidate position

Bidenomics is wreaking havoc on hard-working Americans. As your representative, I will fight for economic recovery by cutting regulations, negotiating trade deals that benefit everyday citizens, and lowering taxes. It's time to put American families first and revitalize our economy.

THE RIGHT MEDICINE

Candidate position

Diana is an unapologetic conservative Trump Republican. She ran for Congress because she believes that our nation is at a tipping point. Liberal extremists threaten the future of our country and our way of life with false promises of socialism. They stand in the way of common-sense, conservative values, our Constitutional Rights, and economic freedom. The people of East Tennessee need an outsider in Congress to fight for them and be their voice. Our communities need someone that is not beholden to political games or special interests, someone who understands what it takes to build a business, raise a family, and most importantly - fight back against the Radical Left’s extreme agenda. East Tennessee needs Diana Harshbarger.

STANDING UP FOR TENNESSEE

Candidate position

Diana is a staunch advocate for personal freedoms and a limited government that works for the American People, by the American People. She firmly believes in the importance of standing up to government overreach and draconian mandates imposed by the Democratic Party. Under Joe Biden, the Democrats’ bloated government has shown a penchant for expanding the government’s control over our lives. From the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns and mandates, to their push for regulating every aspect of our lives, it is clear that the Democrats’ vision for America does not hold a place for our shared principles of individual responsibility and freedom. Diana believes that it is imperative that we push back against these reckless policies that infringe on our liberties.

2nd Amendment

Candidate position

Preserving the integrity of our political institutions demands the implementation of term limits. Career politicians often prioritize personal gain over the needs of the people. I am dedicated to passing legislation that imposes term limits on all federal offices, putting an end to the era of self-serving politicians who lose touch with the interests of those they represent.

America First

Candidate position

Grounded in my faith, I am unwaveringly pro-life. Democrats advocating for extreme abortion policies, including late-term procedures, must be countered. I pledge to uphold the sanctity of life and resist radical, anti-life agendas in Congress.

THE RIGHT MEDICINE

Candidate position

Career politicians – from both parties – have failed the American people and East Tennessee for years. They have had years to solve the problems that plague every day families and have had decades to change politics as usual. Enough is enough. When America’s future, and the futures of her son, her grandsons, and so many others in East Tennessee are on the line, it is time to get Tennessee Tough. It is time for a dose of the right medicine.

STANDING UP FOR TENNESSEE

Candidate position

Diana has been a vocal opponent of COVID mandates that infringe on the rights of East Tennesseans. The government must take a balanced approach while preserving our freedoms, and it is our responsibility to hold Joe Biden and the Democrats accountable for reckless overreach. It is the American People who empower the government, and the Democrats should never be allowed to use force to compromise our cherished conservative values.

Drawing on over 30 years as a community pharmacist, I understand the unique healthcare challenges faced by rural communities. I am committed to reducing government interference, lowering drug prices, increasing healthcare access for seniors and rural residents, and promoting transparency.

The exact official service window begins 2021-01-03, but the first identity-safe member-level roll call currently captured is dated 2021-01-03. Earlier online Clerk material that is unavailable or cannot be bridged to one exact member identity remains excluded; no vote or absence is inferred. Every numbered U.S. House roll call published by the Clerk during the configured service window is reconciled through the member's exact Bioguide ID. Clerk XML through 2002 does not publish Bioguide IDs, so those rows require a candidate-specific official House identity and service bridge plus one unique exact published-name, party, and state tuple. A published roll without an identity-safe row is retained as an explicit source omission and is not labeled as a vote or absence. Voice votes and other actions without member-level roll calls are outside this archive.
