“As your Representative, I will continue to listen to and work with you to address the needs of our district and our state. I will continue to stand with President Trump and fight for the conservative values we so strongly believe in, and will continue to implement laws to support law enforcement, education, lower taxes, reduced regulations, and increased workforce development to make life easier for Tennessee families.” (Campaign website)
“Tom worked with the Trump Administration and Governor Lee to bring in Federal Law enforcement, the National Guard, and more State Troopers into Memphis. Crime has been out of control for years in Memphis and our community needs the help.” (Campaign website)

“Represent all of the people of the state the same. And to be honest with the public. Always willing to seek the view of the people even when it conflicts with my own. When an elected official has personal views that contradict the views of the majority they should step down. The needs of the many out way the needs of the few.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)
“Man child in the promise land. This book is a story of a young kid growing up in the city and I grew up in Newark, NJ and I could relate to how the main character grew up in an urban environment. This story resonated in the fact that I could be successful in life as an adult despite my humble beginnings.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)
