Lewis' campaign website stated the following:

Daryl's Vision for the Assessor's Office

The Assessor's primary role is to locate, identify, and appraise property at fair market value in accordance with Tennessee law. But how that work is done and how clearly it's explained can either build trust or deepen confusion. Daryl's vision is simple: fairness, accuracy, and transparency for every property owner and every neighborhood.

Fair and Equitable Assessments

Ensure that property values reflect real market conditions, not outdated data or uneven practices.

• Use consistent, data-driven methods across all neighborhoods.
• Monitor patterns to identify and correct inequities.
• Work closely with state guidelines while advocating for fairness locally.

Transparency You Can Understand

Make the assessment process clear, accessible, and easy to navigate.

• Plain-language explanations of how values are determined.
• Online tools and guides to help residents understand their assessments.
• Clear timelines and expectations for reappraisals and appeals.

Community Access & Outreach

Bring the Assessor's office into the community, not just wait for people to come downtown.

• Neighborhood-based outreach events and workshops.
• Partnerships with community organizations, churches, and neighborhood associations.
• Multichannel communication to reach seniors, working families, and small businesses.

Efficient, Modern and Responsive Office

Run a professional, responsive office that respects people's time and concerns.

• Improve response times and customer service.
• Leverage technology to streamline property searches and information access.
• Track performance metrics and share them publicly.
