Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am lifelong Tennessee resident who grew up well below the poverty line. My success is rooted in the knowledge that governmental safety nets give citizens room to breath in their hardest moments.

If elected, I vow to ensure these safety nets are strengthened so that the most vulnerable among us can feel financially and emotionally secure.
