Strong Schools = Strong Communities

Strong public schools are the foundation of thriving communities. Tennessee ranks last in per-pupil public education funding, and our students deserve better.

I will fight for:

  • Fully funded public schools
  • Support for teachers
  • Strong literacy and early learning
  • Career & technical education
  • Safe, well-resourced classrooms

Our children deserve schools that prepare them for whatever comes next.

Quality Affordable Child Care = Working and Thriving Families

The first three years of life build the foundation for all future learning — but quality child care is often out of reach for working families.

I will fight for:

  • Expanded child care scholarships
  • Investment in early childhood programs
  • Capping child care costs at 7% of family income
  • Support for early childhood educators

Every family deserves access to child care that lets them work and thrive.

Health Care for All = Healthy Families

Access to affordable, quality health care should be a right, not a privilege — regardless of income or zip code.

I will fight for:

  • Expanded health insurance access and preventive care
  • Stronger maternal and family health services
  • Improved mental health services
  • Lower prescription drug costs

Everyone deserves a health care system that puts people first.

Economic Security = Dignity of Life

Too many Tennesseans struggle to afford housing, food, transportation, and health care — and our government hasn't done enough to help.

I will fight for:

  • Protections for seniors and fixed-income families
  • Access to Medicaid for those who need it
  • Resources to help families make informed decisions about housing and care
  • Policies that protect the rights of people of all ages

Every Tennessean deserves the dignity of economic security.
