A Champion for Tennessee

Every student deserves a well-funded public school, and every teacher deserves competitive pay, strong resources, and respect. Investing in classrooms, educators, and student support services builds brighter futures and stronger communities.

Everyone deserves a fair opportunity to prosper. By expanding access to good-paying jobs, supporting small businesses, ensuring fair wages, and removing barriers to economic opportunity, we can build an economy that works for every family and community.

Marquita believes every Tennessean deserves a safe, stable, and affordable place to call home. She will support policies that expand affordable housing, strengthen assistance for renters and first-time homebuyers, address homelessness, and protect families from unfair housing practices.

Every Tennessean deserves access to affordable, high-quality healthcare—regardless of income, ZIP code, employment status, or preexisting conditions. That means lowering prescription-drug costs, protecting rural hospitals, expanding mental-health services, supporting maternal care, and ensuring families never have to choose between medical treatment and paying their bills. Healthcare should serve people, not profits.

Marquita believes every eligible Tennessean should have equal access to the ballot and a meaningful voice in government. She supports fair voting laws, transparent elections, and independent redistricting that puts voters—not politicians—first.

Marquita prioritizes affordable, reliable high-speed internet for every Tennessean, especially in rural and underserved communities. Her approach supports broadband infrastructure, greater affordability, and expanded access to education, healthcare, jobs,
and essential services.

Every community deserves clean air, safe water, and protection from climate threats. Bold action means advancing clean energy, reducing pollution, creating sustainable jobs, and ensuring vulnerable communities are not left behind.
