MAY 20, 2026 – Thank you to every volunteer, supporter, friend, neighbor, and family member who helped make our campaign kickoff in Fayetteville such an incredible success. Lindsay and I are deeply grateful for the encouragement, prayers, and support as we begin this campaign across Tennessee’s new 9th Congressional District.
Last night was an incredible reminder of what makes Tennessee special. We were surrounded by veterans, first responders, farmers, small business owners, community leaders, parents, and hardworking families who care deeply about the future of our state and our country. The energy in the room was not just about politics. It was about people who love this country and believe our best days are still ahead.
Across Tennessee, families are working harder than ever while Washington grows larger, more disconnected, and less accountable. Too many politicians spend their time chasing headlines and political fights while everyday Americans are focused on raising families, running businesses, serving their communities, and trying to build a better future. That is why we are stepping forward to fight for Tennessee families, defend constitutional freedoms, secure the border, restore accountability, strengthen our economy, and always put America first.
After more than twenty-two years serving in military intelligence and special operations support, along with serving as a firefighter, EMT, reserve deputy sheriff, and small business owner, I understand the importance of service, responsibility, and leadership. This campaign is rooted in those same values.
What we saw last night was bigger than a campaign kickoff. It was the beginning of a movement built around faith, family, freedom, accountability, and love of country. People across this district are ready for serious leadership that understands their values, respects their sacrifices, and is willing to fight for them in Washington.
This campaign is just getting started, and I could not be more grateful for everyone already standing with us. Thank you again for your support, your friendship, and your belief in this campaign.
Now let us go win this race.
