A family earning Knoxville's median household income of $70,000 can afford only 15% of active home listings. In Nashville, the numbers are even worse. What does housing affordability mean to you, and how do you plan to address the crisis pricing young Tennesseans out of the state?
Corporate PAC money has dominated Tennessee politics while working Tennesseans' wages have stagnated and public schools have been defunded. What is your position on corporate money funding campaigns? What legislation to limit corporate, foreign interest, and crypto influence on our elections do you support?
Tennessee incarcerates at one of the highest rates in the country, disproportionately impacting Black Tennesseans, resulting in up to 9% of Tennesseans being disenfranchised. What does criminal justice reform mean to you?
Tennessee now ranks dead last in per-student public school spending at $12,147 per student, against a national average of $17,840, while the state diverts $155 million in public funds to private school vouchers. What does that tell you about Tennessee's priorities, and what will you do to change them?
In March 2023, six people (including three 9-year-old children) were killed at The Covenant School in Nashville. Less than two years later, in January 2025, a 16-year-old girl was shot and killed in the cafeteria of Antioch High School. The Republican supermajority turned a blind eye to gun violence, providing funding for weapons detection systems and armed guards in every school instead. What will you do differently?
Stephen Miller wrote the Republican supermajority’s immigration bill package that Speaker Cameron Sexton rammed through during a special session in early 2025, forcing Tennessee to be the White House’s testing ground for one of the harshest immigration crackdowns in the country. How will you fight back, and what does humane immigration policy look like to you?
AI-generated media has been used in political campaigns to depict candidates saying and doing things they never said or did. Where do you stand on AI-generated campaign materials (including ads, social media graphics, etc.)?
Tennessee's Democratic campaigns have historically handed the keys to the same consultants and operatives while young organizers who built the grassroots infrastructure are sidelined. How will your campaign be different, and what does giving young Tennesseans real decision-making power look like to you?
Do you commit to not knowingly use AI-generated images, video, audio, or graphics in any campaign materials?
If elected, do you commit to not holding more than $250,000 in your campaign account at the end of any calendar year without deploying excess funds toward Democratic organizing or voter outreach?
Do you commit to not accepting corporate PAC, dark money, foreign interest, AI, or crypto PAC funds?
If you are not a Young Democrat yourself, do you commit to actively recruiting and hiring young people onto your campaign staff in meaningful, paid roles?
