“I have lived in Murfreesboro, TN since I was 14 years old. I went to Blackman High School; attended classes at MTSU; and currently work at Lowe's.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)

“Families. We need to support our working families first. We need Universal pre-k to bring our education to a higher standard than anywhere else in the country; guaranteed paid maternal AND paternal leave so that our families can stay together instead of struggling with a newborn while worrying about work; and family planning and abortion protections to stop punishing women for trying to have a family. We cannot move on in our community if we do not support the people creating and moving our world.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)

“Roads. Tennessee is plagued with Traffic, especially here in Murfreesboro where it can take as much time to drive from one side of Murfreesboro to the other side as it does to drive from Murfreesboro to Nashville. We need an expansion of public transportation and passenger train lines, sidewalks on all state owned roads, programs to encourage cities to build better road infrastructure like frontage roads and traffic circles, and fix our awful pothole problems.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)

“I have consistently been recognized among the most conservative legislators by American Conservative Union, Americans for Prosperity, and Club for Growth.” (Campaign website)

“I have voted for reducing burdensome regulations, cutting red tape, eliminating, and reducing taxes and supported key reforms regarding lawsuit/tort reform and workers compensation. Conservative leadership has made Tennessee one of the most business-friendly states in America. Since my election, I have supported policies that have helped to create over 340,000 new private sector jobs.” (Campaign website)

“We have seen historically low unemployment, and Tennessee is also the lowest debt state per capita, median household incomes are increasing at the second fastest rate in the entire southeast, and we are the most fiscally stable state in the entire country.” (Campaign website)
