US Congress is rife with dysfunction and my opponent Tim Burchett is smack dab in the middle of it. Tennesseans have real issues that matter. The majority of my constituents are concerned about the economy, reproductive rights, affordable healthcare, public safety, and climate changes affecting our farmers. There are solutions. By working together, across the aisle, we can make life better for everyone. It’s time.
- Lets get Congress back to work addressing the things most Tennesseans consider real issues.
- Establishing a single payer healthcare system can reduce the deficit and individual costs to ensure Tennesseans have access to quality care.
- No one should be forced to carry a pregnancy to term.
Creating policy that would restore balance in our country.
We are at a precipice and must act now to protect the planet for future generations. I support eliminating dependency on fossil fuels by 2050 and protecting against forever chemicals in our drinking water.
Healthcare is the largest expenditure of our GDP. We can reduce the deficit by creating a single payer system allowing Americans greater access to quality healthcare. This does not mean destroying the private system. Those who want to remain in the private system can continue to do so. Our small business owners, entrepreneurs, artists and employees who don’t have care provided by employers, depend on a system designed to insure access to care.
There is no place for government in a physician’s treatment room. The health of a woman extends beyond her body. She deserves financial, emotional, intellectual and spiritual health as well. We cannot regulate the decision of a patient beyond reasonable laws. It is one of the roles of the federal government to protect the rights of all
Americans. We must protect a woman’s freedom to decide her future when it comes to reproductive care.
Americans are living in fear under the cloak of laws supported by legislatures funded by the NRA. All rational thinking individuals can see that basic laws are needed to reduce gun violence in this country. It is the #1 cause of death for Americans under the age of 18. I support 80% of Tennesseans who want common sense gun laws.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a ground breaker. She was known as an advocate for gender equality and women’s rights throughout her tenure as an attorney before becoming a member of the Supreme Court. She was able to maintain relationships with those who had radically different ideologies leading to opportunities for the texchange of ideas outside of the comfort of sameness.

I am a native Tennesseean proudly running for office to bring the values that matter most to the senate floor. Education, healthcare, social justice reform, a living wage and environmental policy all bring Tennessee into the new Century. Old ways of governing are no longer serving the majority of Tennesseans!
- Finding common goals to insure that healthcare is available to all while maintaining fiscal responsibility.
- Lifting up our public educational system for all of our students and teachers.
- Working to support farmers in creating environmental measures to protect our citizens. Fighting for clean air and water for our children.
Creating a stable and sustainable policy for protecting our environment is critical for us to move Tennessee in the this century. In order to attract industry and good paying jobs, we need to modernize our views of what a living wage is. We must value all Tennesseans regardless of their occupation, gender identity, race or ethnicity. Having access to healthcare is critical to becoming a civilized society. To educate our children is to invest in our future! And we must resolve ways to combat social injustice.
