Campaign websiteTaylor's campaign website stated the following:Stand with President TrumpBrent Taylor stands proudly with President Trump and the America First agenda. He’s running to deliver trusted, conservative leadership and fight every day for the people of Middle and West Tennessee. Brent has earned the endorsement of U.S. Senators Marsha Blackburn and Bill Hagerty because he is a battle-tested conservative who delivers results. Brent is focused on getting things done for Tennessee families, farmers, and businesses. We can count on him to Take Tennessee to the Top by backing President Trump and the MAGA agenda.Support the MAGA Agenda and Put America FirstAs our Congressman, Brent Taylor will fight every single day for the MAGA agenda and to put America First. Tennessee families are tired of open borders, rising costs, failing schools, and politicians who put illegal immigrants and special interests ahead of American citizens. As a West Tennessee State Senator, Brent has already shown he can deliver real conservative results — strengthening immigration enforcement, cracking down on revolving-door bail policies, holding progressive prosecutors accountable, and standing with law enforcement. In Washington, Brent will champion President Trump’s priorities: securing the border and finishing the wall, stopping the flow of fentanyl, deporting criminal illegal immigrants, slashing reckless spending, unleashing American energy production, restoring law and order, eliminating DEI mandates, and defending parental rights and traditional values. Brent will support the MAGA agenda and Take Tennessee to the TopFight Inflation and Get Prices Under ControlTennessee families, farmers, and small business owners are tired of stretched paychecks and rising prices at the grocery store, the gas pump, and the utility bill. As our Congressman, Brent Taylor will fight hard to bring inflation under control and lower the cost of living. He already delivered results in the Tennessee Senate by forcing large data centers to pay their full share of power infrastructure costs instead of sticking families with the bill. In Washington, Brent will support President Trump’s agenda: cutting reckless federal spending, slashing burdensome regulations, and delivering real economic relief to the hardworking people of our district.Promote American Energy to Lower Costs and Improve National SecurityHigh energy prices continue to squeeze farmers, truckers, manufacturers, and working families across our state. Brent Taylor’s strong conservative record proves he understands the problem and knows how to fix it. In the State Senate, he protected families from higher electric bills by fighting costly mandates, supporting reliable natural gas infrastructure, and making sure big tech data centers pay their own way instead of passing the costs on to everyone else. In Washington, Brent will promote American energy production to lower costs for families and businesses and improve our national security by expanding domestic oil, natural gas, and nuclear power. Brent will promote American Energy that Takes Tennessee to the Top. Reduce Federal Spending and Root Out WasteWashington has been writing blank checks for far too long — fueling inflation and saddling future generations with debt. As our Congressman, Brent Taylor will put an end to it. Drawing from his record fighting government inefficiency and bureaucratic overreach in the Tennessee Senate, Brent will bring that same tough, no-nonsense approach to Washington. In Congress, he will cut wasteful programs, eliminate fraud and ideological spending, oppose bloated omnibus bills, and restore accountability so hardworking families in Tennessee keep more of what they earn.Secure the BorderSecure borders are essential for national security, public safety, and the rule of law. As our Congressman, Brent Taylor will stand with President Trump to finish the wall, stop the flow of fentanyl, and put American citizens first. In the Tennessee Senate, Brent led on immigration enforcement by sponsoring the law requiring sheriffs to honor ICE detainers and cracking down on human smuggling. In West Tennessee, he directly confronted the crime and drug trafficking problems that ravage our communities. In Washington, he will fight to finish the border wall, restore strong enforcement, deport criminal illegal immigrants, end sanctuary policies, and strengthen cooperation among federal, state, and local law enforcement so Tennessee families are protected.Support Our Brave Law Enforcement OfficersTennesseans deserve to feel safe in their own neighborhoods. That starts with fully supporting the men and women who wear the badge every day. As our Congressman, Brent Taylor will be a relentless champion for law enforcement. Brent worked with Senator Blackburn leading the charge for the law enforcement surge that resulted in President Trump creating the Memphis Safe Task Force. As a result, crime dropped dramatically. In the Tennessee Senate, Brent backed our police by strengthening legal protections for officers, improving line-of-duty death benefits, and fighting against woke policies that tie the hands of law enforcement. In Washington, he will push for more federal resources for recruitment and retention, cut bureaucratic red tape on officers, and ensure even stronger coordination so our communities stay safe. We can’t Take Tennessee to the Top without supporting law enforcement. Back Long Sentences for Violent CriminalsHardworking families in Tennessee should never have to live in fear of repeat offenders and violent criminals. Brent Taylor believes dangerous criminals belong behind bars — not back on our streets. In the State Senate, Brent delivered real results by sponsoring tough bail reform, supporting stronger penalties for violent and firearm-related crimes, and holding soft-on-crime prosecutors accountable. In Congress, he will put the safety of law-abiding citizens first by demanding long sentences for repeat violent offenders, limiting early release for dangerous criminals, and cracking down hard on gangs and fentanyl traffickers.Stand up for Tennessee’s Farmers and CattlemenBrent Taylor stands with Middle and West Tennessee’s farmers, cattlemen, and landowners. He knows our producers are getting squeezed by high input costs for fertilizer, fuel, seed, and chemicals, low commodity prices, drought, and the rapid loss of productive farmland at nearly 10 acres per hour. As a State Senator, Brent delivered real results by sponsoring and passing the law that reformed isolated wetlands regulations to give farmers and property owners clearer rules and less bureaucracy. In Washington, he will protect private property rights and cut federal overreach. He will support voluntary farmland preservation programs that respect landowner choice, ensure honest labeling so real Tennessee beef isn’t undercut by lab-grown products, lower production costs, and help keep family farms strong and viable for the next generation. Brent understands the importance of agriculture to our rural Middle and West Tennessee communities. He knows farmers and cattlemen are critical in Taking Tennessee to the Top. Support Our Troops & Maintain a Robust DefenseAmerica must remain the strongest nation on earth. As our Congressman, Brent Taylor will stand firmly behind our troops and fight for a national defense worthy of their sacrifice. Tennessee’s veterans and military families know that peace comes through strength. Brent has consistently supported our service members in the Tennessee Senate, backing legislation that honors their service and strengthens support systems. In Washington, he will champion President Trump’s peace-through-strength agenda: rebuilding military readiness, modernizing our forces, removing woke ideology from training, strengthening our defense industrial base, and ensuring America can deter China, Iran, and other adversaries.— Brent Taylor's campaign website (June 29, 2026)Note: This text is quoted verbatim from the original source.
