“The Tennessee Voucher Program is already impacting our district, but with limited data made available, its long-term effects remain unclear. While promoted as expanding choice, we need stronger accountability and a focus on what truly matters: equitable access, student performance, and investing in the future of education for all.” (Campaign website)
“District 83 is economically diverse, with people working across healthcare, professional services, small business, education, and public service. A strong economy isn’t just about exponential growth: it’s about fairness and stability for the people who make up our community.” (Campaign website)

“Violent crime is a daily threat to those of us who live in Memphis and Shelby County. Crime not only threatens our personal safety, but it’s also a serious threat to our community’s economic growth. I’m working with other conservative leaders in the Tennessee General Assembly to reduce the threat of violent crime.” (Campaign website)
“I voted for Tennessee’s Truth in Sentencing law. This law requires violent criminals to serve their entire sentence. Most of us believe in second chances for those who make mistakes; however, those who commit violence against innocent citizens must expect severe punishment. Victims and families deserve justice.” (Campaign website)
“Our state’s economic stability didn’t come about by accident. It’s the result of prudent fiscal leadership. Tennessee is much well positioned for sustained economic prosperity.” (Campaign website)
