I am a Christian family man. Married to my best friend for 16 years and raising our 2 amazing kids. Being a disabled vet that enjoys working on solutions for issues in front of us is why I have decided to become our next House of Representative for District 20 for the great state of TN. Visit our website for more information. www.electbryanrichey.com
I am passionate about online consumer protection. I believe that small businesses should not be rendered by government overstep. I also believe our public education system needs to be completely rebuilt. Why do we not put the focus on the most important generation? Why do we not provide adequate pay and benefits for those trusted to grooming the minds of tomorrows leaders.
I believe that man is flawed and only one man walked this planet as an example. Although I will never equal what Jesus has done for me. I understand that leading by example is very important and that everyone needs the opportunity to experience his love and grace.
I enjoy speaking to people and working on strategies to help them accomplish what is in front of them.
Represent your district first. The folks that elected you are who you represent.
I would like to create a legacy that together we are better then divided. I want to be remembered for bringing our state and country together with solutions for everyone.
Serving active duty in the US Navy was a very exciting and proud moment. Our mission while deployed saved hundreds and hundreds of American lives.
I started working at a grocery store a couple days after I turned 16 bagging groceries and stocking shelves. This was a great experience for 4 months before moving into fast food.
Last song stuck in my head would be "I cross my heart"
I feel that the primary difference between our legislative bodies is that the House of Representatives should mostly resemble the voice of our state. With their being more representation here.
No I do not. I believe folks that want to do the people's work should do just that. Previous government or political work could lead to bad habits that do not benefit those they are suppose to represent.
Our greatest challenge over the next decade will be the invasion of Americans rights and personal information.
Governor should be the figure head of Capitol Hill. The state legislature is set up to voice the districts concerns and introduce legislation that benefits the citizens of our state.
I feel it is important to build relationships with everybody. How can you create mutual agreeable legislation if you cannot come to mutual terms for moving citizens agendas forward.
I have been a passionate outdoorsman and business man my entire life. I would enjoy working on any committee that protects our environment and hunting rights. Along with assisting as many businesses across our state in providing beneficial products or services for TN residents and beyond.
I am interested in doing the people's work and representing their voice. If that means being apart of leadership then I am ok with it.

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Tennessee

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
