Not one single dime of taxpayer money should ever go to abortion providers like Planned Parenthood. They are not healthcare; they are in the business of ending innocent lives. Our tax dollars should fund real community health centers that provide true care for women without promoting abortion. Defunding these groups is a moral and fiscal necessity. We must protect life and stop forcing pro-life taxpayers to fund the destruction of it.

Strongly Agree

My answer is simple: I am 100% pro-life. I believe every life is a gift from God and must be protected. These abortion drugs are a danger to women and end the life of an innocent child. We must have strong rules to keep women safe. That means a woman must see a real doctor in person. A phone call is not enough. A doctor needs to check for problems that could put her life at risk. And we must force drug companies to report every single problem. If a woman is hurt, we need to know. Right now.

As a staunch defender of life, I believe every child is a precious gift from God. My core principle is to protect the innocent unborn. We must have compassion for women in truly heartbreaking situations. The only exceptions I would ever support are when the life of the mother is in real danger, or in the horrific cases of rape or incest. Even then, any health risks must be seriously and truthfully discussed between a woman and her real doctor—not a Planned Parenthood activist.

Absolutely. The federal government has a critical duty to protect the most vulnerable among us: the unborn. As your congressman, I will fight for federal laws that defend life. Here is what I will support: A National Heartbeat Bill: I will back a law that protects every unborn child the moment their heartbeat can be detected. That is when science shows a unique human life has begun. Stop Taxpayer Funding: I will fight to make the Hyde Amendment permanent law. Not one single dime of your tax dollars should ever pay for an abortion. End Late-Term Abortions: I will push to pass a national law that bans brutal late-term abortions. This is about basic human decency. The left wants to pass a law making abortion legal everywhere, for any reason, all the way up to birth. They are extreme. I believe we must create a culture of life in this country. It starts with strong federal laws that respect the sanctity of every life.

I'll fight to axe the income tax and make the Trump tax cuts permanent. You deserve to keep your money to afford a home, healthcare, and groceries. Washington's waste is why your wallet is empty. I'll end it.

No

Public money should be invested for the best financial return for taxpayers, not to push a woke political agenda. ESG is a scam that punishes oil and gas workers right here in Tennessee and forces liberal values on companies. We must ban ESG investing of public funds to protect our state’s economy and values.

It means the government must never tell a church how to worship or interfere with our faith. My rights come from God, not the state. Our nation's laws are rooted in Judeo-Christian values, and that foundation provides the moral order that guarantees freedom for all religions to practice without fear, as long as they do not infringe on the rights of others.

Strongly Disagree

The government should never force an individual or a business to violate their deeply held religious beliefs. Forcing a Christian baker to create a cake for a same-sex wedding, or a Christian photographer to participate in a ceremony that goes against their faith, is un-American. The First Amendment guarantees our freedom of conscience and religious liberty. Forced speech and compelled action are tools of tyranny, not freedom.

Government mandates violate our liberty. In extreme, temporary crises like a military bio-attack, it may be needed to save lives. Otherwise, schools and employers must educate, not force. Personal and religious freedom must always be protected.

C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary. We must keep our promises to our seniors and most vulnerable through Medicaid and Medicare. However, the answer to our healthcare problems is not a total government takeover that eliminates private insurance and raises taxes. We need more freedom, more competition, and less bureaucracy to lower costs for every Tennessee family.

C) We’ve wasted trillions on foreign wars and nation-building while our own communities struggle. My duty is to you, the taxpayer of Tennessee. We must focus on securing our border, rebuilding our military, and putting American interests first. We should only get involved abroad if there is a direct, imminent threat to our safety and sovereignty. America First is not isolationist—it’s about being smart and putting our citizens, our security, and our economy ahead of foreign agendas.

Strongly Agree

The Chinese Communist Party is a threat to America. They steal our jobs, ignore human rights, and want to replace the USA as the world's top power. We must be strong. We must put American workers and security first. We will not back down to foreign bullies.

Yes. A strong, democratic Israel is a key ally that helps America fight terrorism and counter Iran without putting U.S. troops in harm’s way. But our support must always put American interests first. We will lead—not follow—ensuring this partnership protects U.S. security, projects strength, and safeguards our values, all while prioritizing American sovereignty and safety above all.

The military recruitment crisis is driven by woke policies that prioritize political agendas over combat readiness, weak leadership that betrays our troops (like the Afghanistan withdrawal), and a generation increasingly unfit for service—both physically and in the spirit of patriotism needed to defend this nation. We must end the social experiments, restore pride in our military, and focus solely on strength and victory. SUPPORT OUR TROOPS ALWAYS!

Strongly Agree

The crisis at our southern border is the greatest national security and humanitarian failure of our time. We must fully secure the border now. That means building the wall, deploying more Border Patrol agents, ending catch-and-release, and reinstating Remain in Mexico. We are a nation of laws, and without a secure border, we have no sovereignty. The invasion of illegal immigrants, drugs, and crime must end.

We should only allow immigrants who enter legally, love America, have valuable skills, pass rigorous background checks, and agree to assimilate—learning English and our history. We must end illegal immigration entirely, with no amnesty. Our immigration policy must serve America’s interests first, protect our workers, uphold our laws, and strengthen our national security. Legal immigration is a privilege we offer to those who respect our nation and contribute to its greatness.

Agree

Absolutely. I am a proud public school graduate, and I believe in strong schools. But that means putting parents and students first, not the government bureaucracy. Every parent, regardless of their zip code or income, should have the right to choose the best education for their child—whether that’s public, charter, private, or homeschooling.

Strongly Agree

The federal Department of Education is a massive, wasteful bureaucracy that imposes one-size-fits-all mandates on our local schools. Our kids don’t need Washington DC dictating what they learn—Tennessee parents, teachers, and local communities know what’s best for Tennessee students. Eliminating this department returns power, freedom, and tax dollars back to the states and families, where it belongs. Let parents—not politicians—control education.

I’m a Spirit-filled, born-again believer, and my faith is in Christ alone. My walk with Jesus isn’t about politics — it’s about conviction. I’ve stood up and spoken out because I felt called to, even with no guarantee of reward, only the certainty that I couldn’t stay silent. My faith has shaped my life and my work, and it drives me to serve with courage, humility, and integrity. Everything I do begins and ends with my faith in Him.

The Electoral College is a cornerstone of our republic and ensures every state matters, not just the crowded liberal cities on the coasts. It protects the voices of Tennessee and other heartland states from being silenced by California and New York. Abolishing it would erase the political power of rural America and destroy the careful federal balance our Founders created. This is a push by the left to centralize power and ignore the diverse needs of our nation. We must defend it.

The climate is always changing, but the idea that it is primarily caused by humans and requires drastic, economy-killing government control is a scam. The same activists who push this want to destroy American energy independence like our oil and gas jobs right here in Tennessee. Their "solutions" always mean more regulations, higher taxes, and less freedom for our families. We should prioritize American prosperity and common-sense conservation, not cripple our economy for a radical, unproven age

We need reliable American energy: natural gas, oil, clean coal, and nuclear power. Unreliable wind and solar can’t meet demand. Unleash domestic production, cut regulations, and achieve energy independence. Power must be abundant and secure.

Very Conservative

I am an America-First Conservative because I believe in putting Tennessee families, our values, and our sovereignty above all else. That means lower taxes, secure borders, a powerful military, and protecting life and religious liberty from government overreach. I trust parents and local communities—not DC bureaucrats—to make the best decisions for their children and futures. Our rights come from God, not government, and I’ll always fight to defend them.

The purpose of government is to protect our God-given rights: life, liberty, and property. It must secure our borders, provide for national defense, enforce the rule of law, and ensure order—all while staying strictly limited. Government should never dictate how we live, worship, or do business. Its role is to serve the people, not control them, and always respect the freedoms our Founders fought to guarantee.

NO.

NO.

Strongly Disagree

Court packing is a dangerous, partisan power grab that would destroy the Supreme Court’s independence and turn it into a political weapon. The left wants to do this to push radical policies that would never pass Congress—like attacking our Second Amendment, religious freedom, and border security. We must protect the Court’s integrity and our Constitution, not sabotage it for short-term political control.

Strongly Disagree

We should fully fund and support our police, not defund them. Law enforcement keeps our communities safe, and weakening them puts Tennessee families at risk. We need to give officers more resources, better training, and stronger backing—not redirect funds to untested programs that ignore the rule of law. Back the blue, don’t abandon them.

We must fully protect the Second Amendment. The right to bear arms shall not be infringed. Restrictions like red flag laws due process violations and universal background checks ultimately disarm law-abiding citizens, not criminals. We should enforce existing laws, prosecute violent offenders, and secure schools—not punish responsible gun owners. Mental health support is key, but our fundamental right to self-defense is non-negotiable.
