As a businessman, I know first-hand the most effective means to create jobs is less government intrusion and regulation, creating tax incentives that provide a return on investment to the people and government, and less “pretended legislation” enacted though the lobbying efforts of the legal profession, to create torts for attorneys to bring class-action and other suits against businesses.

Our government was formed on the concept of checks and balances, to prevent one branch from becoming too powerful. Today, there is no check of one branch over the other of our judiciary and judges in Tennessee routinely violate the right to a fair and impartial court (due process) in bias and sometimes corruption.

Only a small government truly serves the needs of the people and that those governments closest to the people are most responsive to their needs. I affirm the principle of Federalism, and its establishment in the form created by the Founders. Learn more

I will vigorously defend the state against illegal immigration. Illegal immigration strains our social services, costing the state millions.
