Platform
Education
- Students must come first
Parental Choice
- The Tennessee Department of Education should be led by someone who has taught in a Tennessee classroom.
Career and Technical Education
Infrastructure
- Expand interstates, prioritizing heavy traffic areas
Improve Solid waste management
Healthcare
- Freestanding emergency departments
- Stop rural hospital closures
Energy
- Small Nuclear Reactors
Economic and Community Development
- Homegrown businesses should be valued just as much as the big companies that relocate to Tennessee.
100% Pro Life
Defend our constitutional rights
- The right to free speech, freedom of religion, the right to keep and bear arms, the right of due process – just to name a few.
- The rights spelled out in our Constitution are God-given and worthy of our protection.
- We should make Tennessee a true Constitutional Carry state and oppose every effort by the federal government to restrict our gun rights.
Protect TN Kids and Families (Anti-Woke)
- Anti-Woke
- Anti-LGBTQ
Support TN Farmers
- Cut Regulations
- Increase 4H and Future Farmers of America
Pro Business, Pro Worker, Pro Growth
- I’ve built businesses, created jobs, and signed the front of a paycheck. I’ll bring that experience to the Governor’s office and make Tennessee the most business-friendly state in the country by cutting job-killing red tape for entrepreneurs, farmers, and small business owners. We will make Tennessee a magnet for manufacturing, logistics, and energy jobs from companies that embrace our Tennessee values.
Zero Tolerance for Illegal Immigration
- Biden’s open borders turned every state into a border state.
- I promise to support President Trump’s efforts to secure our border and protect our communities.
- As Governor, I will never allow sanctuary cities – not in Memphis, not in Nashville, not in Knoxville – not anywhere.
- I’ll support ICE and state and local law enforcement collaborating to keep our cities safe.
- And, I will crack down on fentanyl traffickers and drug cartels bringing crime into our communities.
Election Integrity
- If we don’t have fair elections, we don’t have a country. Thanks to great leadership, Tennessee is #1 in America for election integrity, but we can’t let up. We should always require photo ID for all voters — no exceptions and purge non-citizens and inactive voters from the rolls. Committing voter fraud is a felony in Tennessee and violators should be prosecuted accordingly.
- I will be sure that Tennessee elections are always: audited, bipartisan, secure, and trustworthy. Tennessee voting machines are not and should not be connected to the internet.

Other Notes
“As a dedicated Christian, lifelong conservative, and unapologetic supporter of President Donald J. Trump, I believe Tennessee should lead the way in standing up for the principles that make America great. As your Governor, I won’t bend to the woke mob or the media. I’ll fight for our values, our families, and our future — with President Trump’s blueprint and your support.”
