I stand for the families of our community, and it has always been my calling to support and defend the equal rights of every human being.
I am running for Senate because I am committed to democracy, as not simply a political value, but as a means of restructuring society.
I stand for the working class, the children, and the right to quality healthcare for everyone. I have a duty to ensure that people's concerns are heard and I will work non-stop until we fix the problems in our area.My motto is "No one gets left behind. No one gets forgotten". We are one big family, and we can be the change that we want to see!
- I want to expand Medicaid to make sure all people of Tennessee have healthcare.
- I support public school funding and raising teacher pay.
- I want to revitalize our rural areas, by supporting out local farmers and small businesses.
Like him, I grew up in a low income family. I am the working class and that's who I actually stand for also. He gave me the courage to run for office and to make a difference.
You need to know and be able to understand what people go through and deal with, and actually want to make a difference in their lives.
