Campaign themes
2016
Forrest's campaign website highlighted the following issues:
| “ |
Alcoa and High Rock Dam: I am proud of the victories that Alcoa and those that support private property rights have achieved in the last few months. I support adamantly the rights of private property owners, and back challenges of eminent domain claims. The State has filed an appeal to the decision made by the courts to drop the suit, I will continue to monitor and support the rights of private entities. Especially one as important as the Dam is to residents of Davidson County. Three Term Politician: If elected, I’ve promised myself and promise my constituents that I will serve three terms. I feel like if I cannot successfully push for term limits I will impose them on myself. I feel as though it is critical for our government to have turnover in our Statehouse, this creates an atmosphere for new ideas and perspectives. Limited Government and Freedom:
Taxation:
Education:
