I am a Christian, constitutional conservative, primarily funded by myself, I am for the people, by the people and are the people
  • I am not an elitist
  • I am very approachable
  • I am a Christian constitutional conservative
I am all about jobs, and keeping our constitutional freedoms 100% in front of us at all times
The best example I have had all my life is my own dad, Dennis Bynum Sr, he was a biblical scholar and a true constitutionalist, I wish he was here today to walk with me in the paths to bring our conservative Christian values back
The two best examples of what I believe, our Bible, and our constitution
My Christian and family values, and understanding that our forefathers built a constitution to show us the pathto the future
I was born a leader, I was born your prayer warrior, I was born your neighbor, I was born your friend
Is to be strong on the word that they give
I would like to leave a legacy that not only my children or grandchildren could benefit from, but others as the same
My first historical event was to be able to shake hands with President Ronald Reagan
My first job was working for my father, he had a water treatment business, which was softening infiltration, he was the best teacher that I was blessed to have for the majority of my young and adult life, I miss him dearly
The bible
Abraham Lincoln or Ronald Reagan
Our star spangled banner
The biggest struggle I have had in my life is a daily struggle of being better today than yesterday
Is to be able to come up with laws that will make sense for not only my district in the state of Tennessee but to be a shining light for the rest of our beautiful United States of America
Not at all, I think as a small business owner, and a self-made person, makes more sense to be able to be in government to direct our future
Our greatest challenges are people trying to destroy our Constitution and our values, radical Islam, socialism, communism, the list is long but our job is easy as long as we stay on path of our founding fathers
It is the legislatures duty to come up with makes sense laws that will be Easy for the Senate to pass in the governor to except, the governor Hass to be the voice of the people, and if the legislature speaks, the governor needs to understand that that is the voice of the people
Relationships are important
The Bible in the constitution is my guidance
Any committee that benefits my district in my state, I would be happy to be a part of
N/a
I have always been a leader, I would be happy to be in charge, to make sure that we do not fall prey to the good old boys club, that we always have the peoples voice in mind
Abraham Lincoln
I believe strongly in term limits, after two or three Terms maximum, I would like to either run for Congress or Senate, if those spots are not available, I would kindly wait until they are
The biggest story That has been heard over and over, is that their voice is not being heard, to be a state Congress person, means that you need to listen to your constituents, their voice is important, their voice is what got you elected.
