From randydebord.com: 

I'm a moderate democrat, and as a representative for district 89 in the Tennessee House, I prioritize pragmatic, incremental policy changes over sweeping, progressive reforms. Moderate democrats, like myself, focus on fiscal responsibility, bipartisan cooperation, a strong national defense, and fostering economic growth through private sector support. Often viewed as the 'swing' vote within the party, we aim to attract moderate and independent voters. We collaborate closely with others to exceed your expectations.

Thanks to the upbringing from my parents to live within our means and save for the future, I retired from TVA at the age of 48, which was a blessing. This allowed me to care for my children after the passing of their mother, as well as to support my mother and brother until their deaths. Now, I am ready to leverage my knowledge and experience for the citizens of district 89 and contribute to the future of our children.

I can and will transform good ideas into actionable plans with a strong focus on execution for all residents of the 89th district of Tennessee.

Priorities:

• Education

• Economy & Affordable Housing

• Healthcare

• Infrastructure
