Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Breaking straight party loyalty votes, but voting with and for the people. Listening, stating what I understood, then binding the perspectives for a unified vision and fight. Voting in the House from the perspective of: Does this move the ball forward for West Tennesseans? If not, voicing strong opposition.

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Progressive in thought, yet grounded in principles and values. Some things must be protected or conserved; and change creates and brings about progress and opportunity. I will not be boxed in by party loyalty. I am "Independent" and independence is your greatest asset in Congress.
