I’m proud to be running to represent Tennessee’s 5th District in the U.S. House of Representatives in 2026. It’s an honor to stand up for our shared values and fight for a brighter future for all Tennesseans.
This campaign isn’t just about politics; it’s about our journey forward, together. My passion for service has been shaped by a lifetime of leadership in business and nonprofit communities. I’ve always believed that real solutions start with listening and showing up for others. As Chief Operating Officer of a national healthcare company serving vulnerable individuals across the country, I work daily to deliver compassionate, effective care and advocate for those whose voices are often unheard.
Here at home, my work in our local communities is rooted in a deep understanding of how people think, what they need to thrive emotionally and mentally, and how we can use technology to connect better, serve, and solve real problems in everyday life, insights I’ve gained through years of education and hands-on experience.
My wife Bethany and I are proud to raise our blended family of ten children on a small farm in Columbia, Tennessee. Around our dinner table, everyone has a seat, and every voice matters. It’s a place for thoughtful conversation, open hearts, and plenty of laughter, values that guide how I live and lead. I’m running because Tennessee deserves a representative who leads with integrity, listens with humility, and fights for everyday families like yours.
The hardworking men and women of the middle class are the backbone of our nation, and ensuring their success starts with policies that support both businesses and workers. We must strengthen American businesses and protect the American worker. Empowering America’s middle class through smart, targeted policies is the key to unlocking lasting economic growth, job creation, and opportunity for all.
It is our obligation to ensure every American has access to affordable, high-quality healthcare by strengthening existing programs, preserving choice and competition, and protecting our most vulnerable. Protecting and strengthening Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid is vital to the well-being of seniors, low-income families, and disabled individuals. Rather than cutting these important programs, I support improving efficiency to reduce fraud and waste, ensuring that resources are directed where they are needed most.
As someone who cares deeply about our nation’s safety and every person’s dignity, I believe we must secure our borders in a firm and fair way. At the same time, we must never forget that this country was built on the shoulders of immigrants: people who came here with hope, determination, and a desire to contribute. I believe we can honor that legacy by fostering an immigration system that is both secure and compassionate.
I believe we must respect a woman’s right to make her own healthcare choices. Personally, I am not an advocate for abortion, but I firmly believe that a woman should retain dominion over her body, free from government impositions. Decisions about reproductive health are deeply personal. A compassionate and balanced approach to any abortion policy should respect both the rights of women and the value of life.
I fully support the Second Amendment and the constitutional right of law-abiding citizens to bear arms, and with that right comes the responsibility to ensure public safety. There must be a balance between protecting the rights of Americans and the safety of all citizens, especially our children. No child, teacher, or staff member should ever feel unsafe in a school, and we must take stronger measures to protect them. This is not a partisan issue. It is a shared responsibility. We must unite as Americans and be united in our commitment to creating a safer country for everyone.
Just as we prepare students for the future, we must also ensure that they understand the past. Education should be rooted in truth, not rewritten to fit political narratives. By teaching history honestly, including both our nation’s triumphs and its struggles, we empower future generations to learn from the past while shaping a better future. By prioritizing education that is rigorous, factual, and forward-thinking, we can give students the tools they need to succeed, contribute to society, and drive America’s continued growth and innovation.
