For too many Tennesseans, the American Dream feels farther away than it should. Families are feeling squeezed from every direction as the cost of groceries, gas, healthcare, housing, insurance, utilities, and everyday necessities continues to rise. Parents are working longer hours just to keep up. Small businesses are operating on tighter margins. Seniors living on fixed incomes are increasingly worried about their long-term financial security.
At the same time, trust in government continues to decline. Washington has grown larger, more expensive, and increasingly disconnected from the values and priorities of working Americans. Politicians spend too much time chasing headlines, scoring political points, and playing partisan games instead of focusing on the people they were elected to serve.
Jeremy Thompson is running for Congress because he believes Tennessee deserves better. He believes families who work hard, play by the rules, support their communities, and try to save for the future deserve leadership that understands the challenges they are facing and is willing to fight for them.
Jeremy understands these concerns not as a career politician, but through his own experiences as a husband, father, veteran, first responder, and small business owner. Alongside his wife Lindsay, he experiences firsthand the pressures many Tennessee families and employers face with rising costs, inflation, insurance increases, and economic uncertainty. He believes Washington has become too disconnected from everyday life and too focused on politics instead of restoring opportunity, stability, and confidence in the future.
In Congress, Jeremy Thompson will fight to lower costs, restore fiscal responsibility, strengthen American energy production and manufacturing, support small businesses, and help create an economy where hard work once again leads to stability, opportunity, and a better future for Tennessee families and future generations.
Families deserve lower inflation, reduced energy costs, responsible government spending, and an economy where paychecks go further.
An America First energy strategy must expand domestic production, lower energy costs, and strengthen national security.
Healthcare should be more affordable, transparent, and patient-focused while protecting access for families, seniors, and veterans.
Families and small businesses are taxed enough already and deserve lower taxes, fiscal discipline, and responsible government spending.
Farmers, ranchers, and rural communities are the backbone of Tennessee and deserve strong support, fewer regulations, and expanded economic opportunity.
Education, skilled trades, and workforce development should prepare our children and grandchildren for success and rebuild American competitiveness.
The American people are tired of watching politicians in Washington operate by a different set of rules than everyone else. Families across Tennessee are expected to work hard, balance their budgets, follow the law, and be accountable for their decisions. Jeremy Thompson believes Congress and the federal government should be held to the same standard.
Americans watch in disbelief Washington has become consumed by political games, endless spending, tantrums for an ounce of media attention, and special interests running the show while families are left paying the price.
Massive spending bills are rushed through Congress without being fully read. Career politicians grow wealthier while the national debt continues to explode. Unelected bureaucracies continue expanding their influence with little transparency or accountability to the people they serve.
Jeremy Thompson believes government works best when it is transparent, accountable, and focused on serving the American people instead of protecting political insiders.
As a veteran, first responder, and small business owner, Jeremy believes accountability matters because leadership matters. In the military, poor decisions have consequences. In small business, budgets matter and responsibility matters. He believes the American people deserve leaders who are willing to tell the truth, make difficult decisions, and put the interests of the country ahead of politics.
For Jeremy Thompson, holding Washington accountable is about restoring trust in government and making sure elected officials remember who they work for: the American people.
Prevent members of Congress and their spouses from profiting off insider knowledge and restore trust that elected officials are serving the public, not themselves.
Lawmakers should read the bills they vote on, debate legislation openly, and stop relying on rushed backroom deals and last-minute omnibus packages that avoid public scrutiny and accountability.
Unelected bureaucrats should be accountable to the Constitution, Congress, and the American people, not insulated from oversight and transparency.
Families and small businesses are taxed enough already and deserve lower taxes, fiscal discipline, and responsible government spending.
Leaders who refused to secure the border, enforce immigration laws, and confront the fentanyl and human trafficking crisis must be held accountable for the consequences their failed policies have had on American families and communities.
Every legal vote should count, and commonsense safeguards should strengthen confidence in free, fair, and secure elections.
Jeremy Thompson brings something that no candidate in this race can offer: real-world national security, military intelligence, and operational experience developed over more than twenty-two years of service.
Throughout his military career in intelligence and special operations support, Jeremy worked in high-pressure environments where leadership, accountability, strategic thinking, and sound decision-making carried real consequences. He understands the evolving threats facing the United States, including China, terrorism, cyber warfare, border security, foreign intelligence operations, and emerging global conflicts. His experience gives him firsthand knowledge of how national security decisions made in Washington impact military operations, intelligence gathering, and the safety of American service members around the world.
Jeremy believes Congress needs more leaders with practical experience and fewer career politicians. His background would allow him to bring valuable expertise to committees like the House Armed Services Committee and the House Intelligence Committee, where decisions involving America’s military readiness, intelligence operations, cybersecurity, strategic deterrence, veterans issues, and national defense are made every day.
At the same time, Jeremy’s experience is not limited to military service. As a small business owner, first responder, husband, and father, he understands the economic and cultural challenges facing Tennessee families and communities. He believes effective leadership requires both strategic experience and a real understanding of how policy decisions affect everyday people.
Jeremy Thompson is running for Congress because he believes Tennessee deserves serious leadership rooted in service, experience, accountability, and a deep understanding of the issues shaping America’s future at home and abroad.
America must maintain the strongest and most prepared military in the world to deter threats, protect freedom, and preserve peace through strength.
Communist China represents America’s greatest long-term geopolitical threat, requiring policies that strengthen American industry, security, and independence.
Veterans and military families deserve quality healthcare, strong benefits, and leaders who understand the sacrifices that come with service.
The Iranian regime continues to threaten American interests, destabilize the Middle East, fund terrorist proxies, and pursue dangerous military and nuclear ambitions, which is why America must lead with strength, deterrence, and clear-eyed national security leadership.
America must strengthen cybersecurity defenses against hostile foreign governments, cybercriminals, and attacks targeting critical infrastructure.
America must aggressively combat espionage, foreign influence operations, and intellectual property theft targeting U.S. institutions and industries.
Jeremy Thompson believes strong families and strong communities are still the foundation of a strong country. Across Tennessee, people understand the importance of faith, family, hard work, personal responsibility, and looking out for your neighbors. Those values helped build communities that people were proud to call home, and Jeremy believes they still matter today.
He believes many Americans feel like the country has become more divided, more disconnected, and more focused on politics and outrage than on the values that bring people together. Families are under pressure. Parents are trying to raise children in an increasingly complicated world. Churches, civic groups, coaches, teachers, first responders, and local leaders are all working to hold communities together while many people feel like the culture is moving further away from common sense and traditional family values.
Jeremy believes government cannot replace strong families, involved parents, healthy communities, and faith-based leadership. He believes children benefit from stability, accountability, discipline, and positive role models. He believes parents should remain the primary voice in their children’s lives and education, and that communities are stronger when families are supported instead of undermined.
He also believes churches and local organizations play an essential role in helping people through difficult times, mentoring young people, supporting veterans and first responders, helping families in crisis, and strengthening the moral foundation of communities across Tennessee. Throughout the state, countless volunteers, pastors, coaches, teachers, and community leaders quietly serve others every single day without asking for recognition.
Jeremy believes America is at its best when people are encouraged to serve their communities, support one another, and place faith, family, and country above selfishness and division. He believes restoring a stronger sense of community, responsibility, and shared values is essential to preserving the kind of country future generations deserve to inherit.
Every human life is a gift from God worthy of dignity, protection, and compassion. A strong and compassionate society should protect the unborn, support mothers and families, strengthen adoption and foster care, and uphold the fundamental belief that every life has value and purpose.
Law-abiding Americans have the constitutional right to protect themselves, their families, and their freedoms. The Second Amendment is a fundamental safeguard of personal liberty, self-defense, and the American way of life, and responsible gun ownership should be protected from unconstitutional government overreach while preserving hunting, sporting traditions, and the rights of citizens to defend themselves and their communities.
Americans should be free to practice and express their faith, speak openly, debate ideas honestly, and live according to their beliefs without fear of censorship, government coercion, political retaliation, or discrimination. Protecting constitutional civil liberties means defending free speech, religious liberty, due process, privacy rights, and equal protection under the law while ensuring government remains accountable to the Constitution and the freedoms generations of Americans fought to preserve.
Parents should remain the primary decision-makers in their children’s education, healthcare, moral development, and overall well-being. Families deserve transparency from schools and government institutions, and parents should have the right to be fully informed and involved in major decisions affecting their children’s future, values, mental health, and personal development.
America grows stronger when people are encouraged to serve their communities, support one another, and place duty, family, faith, and country above selfishness and division. Strong communities are built by people who volunteer, mentor young people, support local organizations, serve as first responders, participate in churches and civic groups, and invest in the well-being of their neighbors instead of waiting for government to solve every problem.
Churches and faith-based organizations play a vital role in serving communities, supporting families, helping those in need, and strengthening the moral foundation of the country. Across Tennessee and throughout America, churches provide food assistance, disaster relief, counseling, youth mentorship, addiction recovery support, veterans outreach, childcare, and countless other services that hold communities together during difficult times. Strong faith communities help foster compassion, personal responsibility, service, and a sense of purpose that strengthens both families and society as a whole.
