Tennessee Deserves
Better.

There is such richness from every border of our state — East, West, North, South and Centrally, we have vast wealth in every segment of life. Without going through everything we have to savor as Tennesseans, my goal is to see our state's amazingness be lauded and shared well with our neighbors throughout America and to every country on our globe. My goal is to share community and promote being good Tennessee citizens, American citizens and Global citizens. My promise is that I will work with each and every person I meet to bloom and grow more and more Harvests of our Best Lives now and for future generations to come.

Election Protection: Safe voting throughout our state via the continuation of the excellent job the election folks do in our capitol in Nashville as well as all of the election commission workers throughout our state. As a new candidate, I enjoyed the great expertise on how the election system works provided by the folks at the Hamilton County Election Commission. I am so encouraged by them and thankfully, I have always felt safe voting from my first vote at 18 in Johnson City through every vote I've cast via early voting here in Chattanooga and when I was traveling for work, mail in ballots. Our system works! Let's keep it that way. And, let us promote keeping sound practices for the voting that is confined to various districts throughout our state. Let us weigh in with our local state representatives to promote fair voting so that every region of our state is represented by the constituents that make up the region. Let us promote making every person's vote count!
