Our communities deserve to be safe to live in with investments in safety nets that help lift people up not criminalize them.
Our schools should be for education, not for gun violence drills. As a common sense gun owner, my job is to address gun violence, not pass the buck. Our communities deserve action, not apathy.

Let's face it, families are working harder than ever, but falling further behind. We need policy rooted in compassion. Universal Healthcare is a must. Affordable Housing should be available for every tax payer. A tax system where billionaires pay their fair share because the rest of us already are.

Our country is founded on Freedom. What good is freedom if you can't afford to use it?
Every person should be able to make the best decision for your body, love who you love, live freely, vote freely and fairly.

This campaign isn't about politics - it's about people. It's about building a future where your zip code doesn't determine your destiny. Building a country that works for all of us!

Tennessee is one of just 11 states that has refused to expand Medicaid, and it's Tennesseans who pay the price. Nearly twice as many people go uninsured here compared to states that expanded coverage, and our rural hospitals are paying for it too, operating on thinner margins and facing higher closure risk.
I won't wait on the state legislature to fix this. In Congress, I'll fight to strengthen the Affordable Care Act by lowering premiums, reducing deductibles, and cutting out-of-pocket costs for families. And I'll work to close the coverage gap directly, supporting a Medicare-like program for Tennesseans who don't qualify for ACA subsidies but are denied Medicaid because the state did not expand coverage.
I'll also fight for the resources our rural hospitals need to stay open. I support the bipartisan Save Struggling Hospitals Act, which corrects a Medicare funding formula that currently shortchanges hospitals in lower-wage areas, including many of the rural hospitals serving District 4. This bill has support on both sides of the aisle because keeping hospital doors open shouldn't be a partisan issue.

Safety means confronting gun violence honestly and effectively, not ignoring it and not overcorrecting against responsible gun owners. I'll back federal background check laws that actually close existing loopholes, and I'll support funding for state red flag programs so families and law enforcement have a real tool to intervene before a warning sign turns into a tragedy. I'll also fight for investment in community violence intervention programs, which have a proven track record of reducing shootings where they're implemented.
At the same time, I'll protect responsible gun ownership for hunters, sport shooters, and families who rely on firearms for their own safety. These goals aren't in conflict. We can respect the rights of responsible gun owners while making our schools, houses of worship, and public spaces safer for everyone.

Americans shouldn't bear the economic and human cost of wars they didn't ask for and don't support. Tennesseans deserve a representative who takes defense oversight seriously, not one who sits on the committee that shapes our defense policy and does nothing to stop conflicts from dragging on. When we enter a war without a clear plan for ending it, gas prices rise, fewer of our troops come home, and America's credibility on the world stage suffers. I will demand real accountability on how and why we commit to military engagements, and I will not support open-ended wars with no defined path to resolution.

Childcare costs are eating into family budgets across Tennessee, money that could go toward housing, food, or a college fund. No family should have to choose between quality childcare and financial stability.
I will fight for a federal-state partnership that makes voluntary pre-K available to every 3 and 4-year-old, regardless of family income. Rather than build a new federal bureaucracy, this plan strengthens the mix of providers families already trust: public schools, Head Start, licensed daycare centers, and family childcare providers. The federal government funds the expansion, states share the cost over time, and no family is required to participate if it's not right for them.

Families across TN-04, especially in rural communities, are being priced out of homeownership while construction costs outpace what working people can afford. I'll support a package of targeted, fiscally responsible solutions built to close that gap.
I support the Rural Housing Service Reform Act, which modernizes USDA rural housing programs, makes loans more accessible to low-income rural families, and directs funding to local organizations building housing and infrastructure where it's needed most.
I support the Neighborhood Homes Investment Act, a targeted tax credit that closes the gap between construction costs and what working families can actually afford. In TN-04, this could open the door to homeownership for well over a hundred thousand low and moderate income households, particularly in areas like rural Rutherford County, where that gap is widest.
I support the Affordable Housing Credit Improvement Act, which expands access to housing tax credits across much of TN-04 and includes built-in accountability measures to ensure the investment is spent wisely, with meaningful benefits for veterans seeking stable housing.

Your Fourth Amendment rights don't expire just because the technology changes. The Constitution guarantees Americans the right to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, and law enforcement should have to get a warrant before invading that privacy, whether it's a filing cabinet or a facial recognition database.
I will fight for the passage of the PRIVACY Act, which requires federal law enforcement to obtain a warrant before accessing or querying surveillance data collected by state and local systems, including automated license plate readers and similar tracking technologies. The bill limits how long that data can be retained after a warrant is issued, generally capping it at 30 days unless it's tied to an active prosecution or a court grants a limited extension. It also blocks federal funds from being used to purchase or install these intrusive surveillance systems, with narrow exceptions.

No American should face investigation, prosecution, or government enforcement action simply because of who they voted for, what they said, or who they associate with. That principle should hold true no matter which party controls the White House.
I will work to ensure passage of the No Political Enemies Act (H.R. 7060), which prohibits the president, vice-president, federal agencies, and independent executive agencies from opening or directing an investigation, prosecution, regulatory action, or other enforcement action against a person or organization when that action is substantially motivated by their constitutionally protected speech, dissent, expression, or association. This is a safeguard against the government being weaponized to punish political opponents, and it protects that right for everyone, regardless of party.

The government shouldn't have a say in decisions that belong to individuals, families, and their doctors. I will work to codify abortion access into federal law, protect access to IVF and contraception, and defend the right to marry regardless of who you love. I'll also fight to limit government overreach that negatively affects the lives of LGBTQ+ Tennesseans and their families.
