| Collapse all
I am the Legal Advisor at Free Hearts, a Non-Profit Organization. Prior to that, I served my community for the past 6 ½ years as an Assistant Public Defender. I devoted all of my determination, energy and passion into fighting for my clients.
I understood the inequalities that my clients were facing because I had also been a defendant. For my alleged involvement in a drug distribution ring, I spent almost four years in federal prison for a crime I did not commit. Eventually I was resentenced to the mandatory minimum sentence of 5 years and finally released on December 1, 2006.
Two years after my release, I enrolled into law school at the Nashville School of Law. I graduated in 2012, passed the bar exam but had to clear the character and fitness examination. After a show cause hearing I was cleared to become an attorney in Nashville in December of 2012.
I've received several awards and I'm very active in my community as the Legal Advisor with Free Hearts. I continue to advocate on the behalf of my clients and the community, regarding criminal justice reform, incarcerated women's rights, voter restoration and other issues.
- As a Public Defender, I advocated passionately on behalf of my clients every day in the courtroom. I stood up for them in the face of a racist system that sought to dehumanize and strip them of their dignity and basic rights. I was never afraid to address the hard issues and I refused to settle for anything less than a fair and just outcome.
- I am running for Congress and I will take this same level of passion and determination to Washington to advocate on behalf of the community of District 5. I will stand alongside citizens, fighting daily for access to quality health care, affordable housing and criminal justice reform. I will provide them with equitable access in government decision making and will make sure their voices are heard.
- For far too long, many people have felt locked out, left behind, abandoned and silenced by the government that was designed to reflect the public and govern in their interest. This District deserves someone who will fight for them...someone who will restore the power back to the community...someone who will truly fulfill the purpose of serving "We the People."
Criminal Justice Reform - Being a former public defender as well as someone who was also formerly incarcerated, I have extensive criminal justice knowledge and I know how the system works. Using this firsthand experience, I will work to dismantle the criminal justice system by fighting to end mass incarceration, repeal mandatory minimum sentences, remove barriers to successful re-entry and any other policy or procedure that disproportionally affects the black, brown and low-income communities.
Affordable Housing - Decent affordable housing is a fundamental basic right, but it is out of reach for far too many. Unaffordable housing drives poor people deeper into poverty, depriving them of other necessities, and limiting their chances of rebounding. As we contend with this affordability housing crisis, the time to act is now to ensure that all Americans have access to safe, stable and affordable housing.
Living Wage - Stagnant income is a crisis of our time. Raising the minimum wage is one of the best tools we have to lift incomes and grow our economy. No one who works a fulltime job should have to live in or near poverty.
Affordable Healthcare - The healthcare crisis in America is real and has been an issue for many years. Continual delays in seeking medical services carry consequences that involve higher healthcare costs and poorer health outcomes.
We cannot afford to wait for any longer to address this issue.
Note: Ballotpedia reserves the right to edit Candidate Connection survey responses. Any edits made by Ballotpedia will be clearly marked with [brackets] for the public. If the candidate disagrees with an edit, he or she may request the full removal of the survey response from Ballotpedia.org. Ballotpedia does not edit or correct typographical errors unless the candidate's campaign requests it.
