1. What inspired you to run for public office, and what positive changes do you hope to bring to your district/state if elected?

The COVID-19 pandemic tested us all in myriad ways, and it was often government overreach that amplified the hardship rather than the virus itself. I believe that individual liberties should remain paramount, even in times of crises declared by the government. My mission is to stand up for the people, advocating for clear limitations on government overreach. It’s simple. I’m a man of God looking to safeguard our Constitutional Republican way of life. I’m a fighter and I’m here to keep the establishment and the radical left from destroying Tennessee

2. Please identify the top three critical issues facing your state, and how do you envision solving them to benefit the communities in your state?

Illegal immigration- The invasion on our southern border is a threat to our security and health of all Tennesseans. I will always put Tennesseans first before illegals. I will sponsor legislation to cease the burden of taxpayers with illegal benefits. I will support returning illegals.
2. Protect our children & women. I will continue to fight against the submission of puberty blockers to children, & the porn in our schools. There are only two genders, male and female. Denial of this fact threatens women physically and emotionally, while robbing them of opportunities they have fought so hard for, such as in sports .As your senator, I will stand up and protect women always.
3. Abortion. The current Senator in District 18 is trying to re-establish abortion loopholes in our state. As a proud father and grandfather, I will carry and vote for legislation that PROTECTS the unborn. Life begins at conception.
