My name is Tim Lewis. I am a conservative Christian I’m a regular blue collar guy I’ve done factory work and farm work my whole life and I’ve held leadership Rolls in nearly every job I’ve been at from lead to Supervisor. I am running because Warren and White County desperately need a leader in Nashville someone who is not bought and paid for by corporate sponsors that are not located within the district And somebody who will Always vote to limit government intrusion into our lives and protect the constitution. I’m a huge supporter of the second amendment and will never vote for red flag laws. I will also vote to restrict illegal aliens access to benefits, paid for by the state
  • Stopping illegal immigration into the state
  • Making sure no red flag laws are passed
  • Keeping our children safe from woke ideology In our schools
Any policy that has to do with our children we need to pass legislation that protects parental choice and limits the state and federal government from intruding in our Personal lives State sovereignty Must Be passed so that we as a state can tell the federal government to go pound sand When needed
There are many great leaders that I like, but my Lord and savior Jesus Christ Is the example that I try to follow most
Strong leadership, Being morally And ethically sound and willing to fight for his or her constituents
A strong, moral compass Great leadership skills
To make sure that he or she does everything within their power To fight for and serve every single person in their district
I guess I don’t really think about leaving a legacy. I just do what I can When and where I can and let the chips fall where they may.
The Oklahoma City bombing Was the one that sticks with me the most? I don’t remember my exact age, but I was in middle school
My very first job was on a farm But I guess my first paid job was fast food McDonald’s, and I kept that for about a year
1984 Because it shows what can happen if government is given too much power
Being in the foster care system at a very young age was a struggle
They should work together to keep Make sure that Tennessee is well equipped With enough industry for the future and protect its children So they can become future leaders
Combat in illegal immigration, and government overreach
I believe it’s probably better if they don’t we don’t need people that are career politicians. We need Regular people making decisions for regular people.
I believe that it is very important to build relationships with other legislators that Can help Build the kind of Tennessee we all want and need
Senator Janice bowling Is definitely one
If GOD has more in store for me than that’s great if he doesn’t, that’s great too
Just that our current representative doesn’t represent them not just ideologically, but in many ways that he could help he just doesn’t
I would say that it’s better to have that kind of power spread out over many people and not just in the hands of one person
A bill to stop illegal immigration into Tennessee or maybe at the same time a bill to protect our children from woke ideology
I believe that if you use taxpayers money to pay for anything, it should be very transparent Government Shouldn’t be hiding what they’re doing with our money
