As a dedicated member of the Williamson County Conservatives’ advisory board, I am deeply honored to stand as a grassroots leader in the fight to preserve the values that make our county, our state, and our nation strong. Being part of this movement is not just a political stance—it’s a commitment to the principles of liberty, limited government, and the right of every citizen to have their voice heard. It is about ensuring OUR Right to Vote and Election Integrity. Our work in Williamson County is about empowering Tennesseans, protecting our constitutional freedoms, and ensuring that the Republican Party remains a beacon of conservative ideals.
The Williamson County Conservatives, alongside dedicated individuals like Ali Adair, Robin Baldree, Michelle Sutton and others, came together earlier this year with a clear mission: to prevent the erosion of our fundamental right to vote. We have always stood firm against efforts to cancel elections by instituting caucuses, which would have silenced the voices of countless Tennesseans, including our military, police, firefighters, working moms, and young Republicans. Our fight was not just about winning an election—it was about defending the integrity of the elections process.
As a grassroots conservative, I am proud to align myself with leaders who embody the Republican Party’s core values, starting with President Donald Trump. His bold leadership has reshaped the Republican Party into a force that prioritizes America First policies, economic prosperity, and secure borders. President Trump’s vision for a strong, self-reliant nation resonates deeply with me and the Williamson County Conservatives. His unapologetic commitment to our
values inspires us to keep pushing forward, ensuring that Tennessee remains a stronghold for conservative principles.
Similarly, I am a staunch supporter of Senator Marsha Blackburn, whose tireless work in the U.S. Senate reflects the same conservative resolve. Senator Blackburn has been a champion for protecting the unborn, securing our borders, and safeguarding children online—issues that matter deeply to Tennesseans. Her leadership in crafting the Republican Party Platform alongside President Trump has given conservatives a clear roadmap for the future, and I am proud to stand with her as she fights for our values in Washington.
Closer to home, I am grateful for the leadership of Senate Majority Leader Jack Johnson and State Representative Lee Reeves, as well as State Representative Jake McCalmon. Their sponsorship of SB799/HB855, which passed the Tennessee General Assembly, was a critical victory in our fight to protect OUR right to vote in primary elections. I had the privilege of speaking in favor of this bill during a Senate State and Local Government Committee meeting, and I commend Senator Johnson, Representative Reeves, and Representative McCalmon for their unwavering commitment to preserving the integrity of our elections. Their leadership is a
testament to what grassroots conservatives can achieve when we work together.
The Williamson County Conservatives PAC is more than just a political organization—it’s a movement built on the belief that Williamson County and Tennessee must remain red. It’s a movement that values those that came before us and wants to raise up those that will come after us, like the Young Republicans. Our work is far from over. We will continue to fight for conservative values, support principled leaders like President Trump, Senator Blackburn, Senator Johnson, and Representatives Reeves and McCalmon, and ensure that Williamson County remains a bastion of freedom and opportunity. I am proud to be part of this grassroots effort, and I invite every Williamson County citizen who shares our vision to join us in this fight.
We’ll never let Williamson County turn Democrat and we are the only grassroots conservative Republican group in our county that has made that pledge.
Together, we will keep Tennessee red, uphold our conservative principles, and build a future that honors the values we hold dear.
