GROWING OUR ECONOMY
We need to provide a successful future for our children. By focusing on growing the economy, we can provide more and better jobs for the people of this state. Tennessee should be a desirable place for all employers.
AUDITING STATE SPENDING
The Federal government has started evaluating their expenditures. That is a great model and should be implemented in Tennessee. Regardless of the agency, the light of day should be placed upon their spending.
EDUCATION
I have benefited immensely from our nation’s public education system. Our K-12 system, which we rely on to prepare our kids for college and the workforce, is in need of a shakeup. We must embrace reforms to fulfill the promise that we make to our children every day. We should reward the best teachers with higher pay while holding districts, schools, and teachers accountable for student performance.
