Amber Taylor completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Taylor's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- I am running because too many Tennesseans face barriers to access the resources that are essential to their well being such as doctors, medications, mental health care and reproductive health care, housing and transportation. These are not commodities that only a wealthy few should have access to. I want to make sure that all Tennesseans are ensured the right to basic human needs and the ability to care for themselves and their families.
- I am running because all children deserve well funded public schools that are free from gun violence. Children deserve to go to school in an environment that is built for them to thrive, not one where they are distracted out of fear for their safety.
- I am running because as a queer person myself, I believe all humans are entitled to live peacefully, love who they want, and worship how they choose without fear of gun violence or intimidation. I stand for, and fight for, these values because I truly believe that at its core this is what being an American should symbolize.
