Tell us about your campaign.

Here's what I believe Time and time again we've been told that the only way to run government is lean. I ask, what has it gotten us? Do we have better education? Do we have less traffic? Do we have well maintained roads? Less red tape? The only thing we've been left with is a do-nothing government who's only reply to criticism is "well that's not my job." ​If you are tired of hearing that answer like I am, join me in making Tennessee better for everyone. I say it's beyond time to reinvest into Tennessee and provide exceptional service, less traffic, better schools, more healthcare, and a government that cares about the people. At a time when our leaders want to say "no," I say . . . It's Time to Say: YES

What are your priorities for this office?

It's no secret that we have an affordability crisis in America. Housing, food, education, healthcare, you name it. As a young man who grew up in Middle Tennessee, I witnessed myself how a lack of courage from government leads to worse conditions for those who have to work for a living. After rising grocery prices, hospital shutdowns, the reckless development of our rural communities, and a shrinking wage, I decided enough was enough. ​ When you give me your support, you aren't supporting a career politician or a millionaire developer who has no idea what it's like to live and work in Tennessee, you're supporting someone who wants everyone to get a helping hand when they need it.
