My family's lived in Tennessee since 1819. This has always been my home, and it always will be. During 23 years I have represented people from 11 West and Middle Tennessee counties in the General Assembly. I've worked hard for my neighbors and fellow Tennesseans. In 23 years, I've missed only one legislative session - the day our youngest son was being born. I have held more than a 1,000 listening meetings with those I represent. I believe I understand their needs and can represent their values.
