Issue Position: Fiscal Responsibility - Tennessee Prioritizing Tennesseans

Issue Position

As a Nashvillian and a new father I can fully understand the difficulties of living within a modest budget. Much like the responsibility I have to my family to make a budget and limit our spending to reach our goals, it is the duty of the State Legislature to be an excellent steward of Tennesseans' hard-earned money. My legislative agenda would include:

*Providing tax cuts in a manner that provides relief to every Tennessean, not just a select few, in order to grow our economy and revive a competitive free market.

*Holding the legislature accountable to Tennesseans by working to create a prudent state budget and then sticking to it!

*Significantly reducing the food tax.

It's important that state legislators always understand the difficulties people of our state face in order to reduce the burden on the individual taxpayers. I am against a state income tax, and I will work diligently to identify ways to reduce the tax burdens on all Tennesseans.
