Father, husband, professor, Metro Councilman, congressional candidate in TN-05 running to put Hometowns Over Headlines.
Ran into some old friends this weekend and made a lot of new ones.
Meeting new people and learning about their story is one of my favorite things to do. I'm very lucky that my role with the county and this campaign give me the opportunity to do that everyday.

Expanding access to careers in the trades helps young people get high-paying, important jobs without debt burden. It also solves for critical labor shortages in essential industries, future-proofing our infrastructure and national security.

I said it before, I'll say it again. I love our schools, our students and our teachers.
We had a great time at the Overton Fall Festival today. The students produced and ran the entire event.
Go Bobcats!

One of the most sacred responsibilities of a government is to protect the rights and freedoms of its citizens. We talked about that today and the potential overturning of the VRA. I'm excited for y'all to hear it.

Great time in Nolensville last night. Chatted with some old friends and made a lot of new ones.
Everyone I talk to feels America is out of balance.
I’m running to make sure regular people have a shot. If you work hard today, tomorrow should be a little better.

Had a great time at the DCDP Honors Dinner last week.
Everyone there agreed that life for most Americans is getting harder by the day.
I believe if you work hard today, tomorrow should be a little better. I'm running to make sure we get back to that.
Let's do this!

American families and workers are hurting. America used to be a place where if you worked hard today, tomorrow would be a little better. Big Money in politics has destroyed that promise.
I'm running to restore that promise.

A. Ogles keeps telling us the economy is booming. Why does he refuse to acknowledge that his neighbors are suffering?
The people who grow things, make things, and fix things deserve a rep that puts their needs above the needs of party bosses and big money lobbyists.

Social Media tells us were different. My conversations on the ground tell me SM is wrong. Everyone wants the opportunity to do a little better tomorrow, to be safe, and don't want the government telling them how to live their life. That is why I'm bullish on our future.

It's not Left vs. Right.
It's Real People vs. Big Money Corruption.
I'm choosing to fight for my neighbors instead of playing their games.

I'm beginning to think Andy Ogles isn't an economist. He says the economy is booming but:
- Farmers everywhere are facing bankruptcy
- The labor market is slumping
- Energy costs in TN are soaring
Either he doesn't understand or he's deliberately lying - and I'm not sure which one is worse.

Big money runs politics.
I'm running to level the playing field.
Our neighbors deserve a seat at the table.
I am going door to door, living room to living room, and from the farms to the cities to make sure our neighbors know that I got their back.

Electricity and utility prices are soaring. Is Andy Ogles looking for solutions to help bring costs down for his neighbors? Nope, he's manufacturing clickbait.
If you or I neglected our duties like this we'd be fired immediately.
He’s the biggest freeloader in TN.
