My campaign motto is "continuing the legacy of integrity and community in District 65." Please visit my website, www.larhonda4tn.com, to learn more about me and how I can be of service if elected the next State Representative of House District 65.- Continuing state funding for public schools

My professional work experience has been in state government and non-profit organizations. I have worked with people from all walks of life and various circumstances. As a team member with the TN Department of Health, I provide research to answer questions about infectious diseases and offer evidence-based research to promote healthy communities and individuals within the state. Ultimately, the state deserves someone who is not afraid to make difficult decisions for the betterment of the state rather than for the popularity or longevity of a political party.
