Leading on the Economy
Tennessee should be a place where if you work hard and do the right things you have opportunity and a chance for a better life. Jennifer believes it is time to put Tennesseans first when we talk about jobs and economic growth in our state. We must strengthen opportunities for our working families to make Tennessee a place where people want to live and raise their kids.

As your State Representative, Jennifer will work to make sure Tennessee attracts and creates jobs that pay enough to raise families. She will work to increase investment in public schools, prioritize investments to fix our infrastructure to create jobs and strengthen neighborhoods, and work to make Tennessee a leader in renewable energy like wind and solar.

Jennifer believes that in Tennessee, when possible, the state government should to give Tennessee companies the first opportunity at contracts, and those companies that receive government contracts should hire people who live here.

In order for Nashville to continue to thrive, Jennifer believes we must protect our working families and put our focus on growing small businesses.
