Candidate positionI believe the wealthiest individuals and the biggest corporations should pay their fair share instead of leaving working families to cover the difference. That same imbalance is exactly what leaves rural communities without quality healthcare or reliable infrastructure. And it's what makes it harder every month to afford food, gas, and a place to live. These aren't separate problems. They're what happens when a community gets deprioritized over and over. I intend to bring these concerns to Washington, and I will be relentless about making sure this district is never treated as an afterthought again.

Candidate positionAmericans shouldn't bear the economic and human cost of wars they didn't ask for and don't support. Tennesseans deserve a representative who takes defense oversight seriously, not one who sits on the committee that shapes our defense policy and does nothing to stop conflicts from dragging on. When we enter a war without a clear plan for ending it, gas prices rise, fewer of our troops come home, and America's credibility on the world stage suffers. I will demand real accountability on how and why we commit to military engagements, and I will not support open-ended wars with no defined path to resolution.

Candidate positionI will fight for a federal-state partnership that makes voluntary pre-K available to every 3 and 4-year-old, regardless of family income. Rather than build a new federal bureaucracy, this plan strengthens the mix of providers families already trust: public schools, Head Start, licensed daycare centers, and family childcare providers. The federal government funds the expansion, states share the cost over time, and no family is required to participate if it's not right for them.

Candidate positionI support the Neighborhood Homes Investment Act, a targeted tax credit that closes the gap between construction costs and what working families can actually afford. In TN-04, this could open the door to homeownership for well over a hundred thousand low and moderate income households, particularly in areas like rural Rutherford County, where that gap is widest.

Candidate positionI will fight for the passage of the PRIVACY Act, which requires federal law enforcement to obtain a warrant before accessing or querying surveillance data collected by state and local systems, including automated license plate readers and similar tracking technologies. The bill limits how long that data can be retained after a warrant is issued, generally capping it at 30 days unless it's tied to an active prosecution or a court grants a limited extension. It also blocks federal funds from being used to purchase or install these intrusive surveillance systems, with narrow exceptions.

Candidate positionI will work to ensure passage of the No Political Enemies Act (H.R. 7060), which prohibits the president, vice-president, federal agencies, and independent executive agencies from opening or directing an investigation, prosecution, regulatory action, or other enforcement action against a person or organization when that action is substantially motivated by their constitutionally protected speech, dissent, expression, or association. This is a safeguard against the government being weaponized to punish political opponents, and it protects that right for everyone, regardless of party.

Candidate positionI will fight to deschedule marijuana at the federal level and end federal penalties for simple possession. A felony conviction follows people for life, affecting their ability to find work, housing, and stability, and that consequence shouldn't fall on someone for possessing marijuana. Legalization also allows law enforcement to focus its resources on serious threats to public safety instead of low-level drug enforcement, and it opens the door to real tax revenue that can go toward public services.

Candidate positionReligious freedom is a fundamental American right, but it shouldn't be used as a license to take away someone else's rights or access to care. I support the Do No Harm Act (H.R. 1954/S. 894), which protects people's sincerely held religious beliefs while making clear that those beliefs cannot be used to override another person's basic liberties. This is a balanced approach: it defends the right to practice your faith without allowing that right to be weaponized against others.
