Brandon Toney is a native Memphian who was born on December 21st 1989, and grew up living in Germantown, TN. He is married to Ashley Sparks Toney and has 3 children. Brandon and Ashley both own a local small business on the Collierville Town Square called First Fruit Collection, where Ashley works selling furniture and accessories, and helps design beautiful homes around the Memphis area. Brandon is a Pulmonary & Critical Care Nurse Practitioner who works in Intensive Care Units across the Memphis area. Brandon has been actively following politics as long as he can remember. He explained that “growing up I always found politics to be something that I couldn’t get enough of watching, although I never enjoyed hearing about all of the corruption that was present throughout our government. That being said, I still think of America as the greatest country in the world, bringing others out of communism and poverty, as well as the primary defense mechanism against the many evils around the world.”
  • I’m not a career politician, and I don’t have years of special favors to return to special interests.
  • We need new, younger voices who will speak up for our freedoms and put AMERICA FIRST!
  • I will as your State Senator, defend our freedom and liberties that our constitution clearly spells out.
