“That background means I know how to dig into complicated systems, find where they are failing people and fix them. As your state representative, I'll fight to eliminate the grocery tax by closing corporate loopholes, and push for a moratorium on data centers.”
(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey) “I'll fight to close corporate loopholes and eliminate the grocery tax.

(Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey) “I want to repeal school vouchers and fully fund public schools. Tennessee’s voucher program diverts public dollars into private schools with no accountability to taxpayers, while public schools — serving the vast majority of District 37’s kids — are left underfunded.”
