Key Issues

  • Break Up Ballad

    The failed experiment of Ballad Health has led to the elimination of critical services, excruciating wait times, and a decline in the overall quality of care. We should put patients first and restore medical freedom.

  • Protect Public Schools

    The voucher scam threatens to destroy public education, and along with it, the next generation's future. We should fully fund our schools and make sure every child receives a world-class education.

  • End Childhood Poverty

    1 in 5 kids in Tennessee lives in poverty. It's disgusting that our legislature gave away $2 billion to corporations last year instead of addressing this moral failure. We must help lift families out of poverty.

  • Ensure affordable housing access

    Everyone should have a safe and affordable place to live. We should lower the cost of housing, assist new buyers, and help people stay in their homes.

  • Protect reproductive rights

    Women should have the right to make their own healthcare decisions. We must protect access to reproductive healthcare, including the right to choose.

  • Protect workers' rights

    Workers deserve fair treatment, safe workplaces, and the right to join a union. We must protect workers' rights and prevent business corruption and abuse.

  • Make schools safe and inclusive

    Our schools must be safe and welcoming for every student. We must make sure schools are free from bullying and that every child feels included.

  • Fight for fair wages

    Workers deserve fair pay. We must hold big corporations accountable so families can afford food, rent, and a decent life.

  • Affordable healthcare for everyone

    From birth to death, everyone needs healthcare. We must ensure that it is accessible to everyone, no matter how much they earn.

  • Reform criminal justice system

    Our justice system should be fair for everyone. We must end mass incarceration, stop police brutality and corruption, and reform the bail system.

  • Strengthen public education funding

    Every Tennessean deserves a world-class education. We should invest in public schools, pay teachers fairly, and give students the tools they need to succeed.

  • Enforce common-sense gun laws

    We can protect individual rights while keeping our communities safe. We must push for common-sense gun laws like widely-supported background checks.

  • Universal Pre-K for children

    Every child deserves a strong start in life. We should make Pre-K available to all, no matter their family’s income. While we're at it, let's make daycare affordable again!

  • Teach accurate American history

    Our schools must teach the true history of our country, including the painful parts. We cannot build a better future without acknowleding our past.

  • Support equality for all people

    No one should face discrimination for who they are or who they love. We must fight against laws that allow people to be treated unfairly or discriminated against.

  • End child hunger in Tennessee

    No child should go hungry in Tennessee. We should strengthen food assistance programs, end the tax on groceries, strengthen local farming, and feed kids in school so they are ready to learn.

  • Protect everyone’s voting rights

    We must protect our right to vote, without fear or hassle. No one should be forced to wait for hours to cast their vote. Voting must be convenient and secure for all.

  • Expand internet access

    In today’s world, internet access is a critical need for work, school, and life. We must work to bring high-speed internet to every home, no matter where you live.
