Important Issues
Women's Healthcare
Collaborate with UT Medical Center and Vanderbilt University to enhance community outreach and organize educational events focused on women's health.
​
Expand Medicaid
This is essential. Patients in Cocke County are losing health coverage and need better access to healthcare services.
​
Raising the Minimum Wage
The cost of living has significantly increased, yet the minimum wage in our state has remained stagnant. To achieve a living wage in Cocke County, an individual must earn $17.59 per hour. A single adult with one child must earn $29.04. [source]
Affordable Housing
Due to a shortage of available and affordable housing, 396,000 renters in Tennessee are rent-burdened, spending more than 30% of their income on rent. The President proposes investing over $200 billion to increase housing supply and address the affordable housing crisis.
​
Veterans' Health
Tennessee is home to over 470,000 veterans, including 9.4% who are women and 45% who are over the age of 65. The President is advocating for $18 billion to improve VA healthcare facilities, ensuring they provide world-class, state-of-the-art care for all veterans, including specialized care for women and older veterans.
