No backdoor approvals of high-impact developments
Corporate tangible property taxation
Farmland preservation
Where Lindsey Stands
LOCAL IMPACT
Growth must be sustainable, transparent, and community-driven — not dictated by state interference.
Labor & Workers’ Rights
Lindsey is proudly pro-union.
She supports:
Collective bargaining
Worker protections
Fair wages
Unions should serve workers — not corporations.

Healthcare
Healthcare is a human right.

Expanding mental health care

WHERE LINDSEY STANDS
LOCAL IMPACT
Rural and suburban communities need stable healthcare infrastructure and accessible providers.
Corporate Accountability
WHERE LINDSEY STANDS
Corporations must pay their fair share.
Tax breaks for large corporations shift the burden onto working families. Lindsey supports fair taxation and public accountability.
Childcare
High-quality childcare should be treated as essential infrastructure — just like public schools.
She supports:
Universal access
Fair wages for caregivers
Public investment to lower costs
WHERE LINDSEY STANDS

Wilson County has some of the highest childcare costs in Tennessee. Affordable childcare strengthens families and local businesses.
Environment & Climate
The climate crisis is both a moral and economic emergency.
She supports:
Rapid decarbonization
Environmental justice
Sustainable development
Protecting farmland

Led sustainability efforts in Nashville public libraries
Helped design LEED-certified facilities
Presented statewide on environmental best practices

LOCAL IMPACT
Reproductive Freedom
Abortion is healthcare.
Medical decisions belong between a patient and their doctor — not politicians. Government’s role is to protect privacy and rights, not restrict them.
WHERE LINDSEY STANDS
HER WORK
Partnered with Tennessee Advocates for Planned Parenthood (TAPP) on advocacy campaigns.
LOCAL IMPACT
Families in Wilson County deserve access to comprehensive healthcare without government intrusion.
Equality, Inclusion & Civil Rights
Lindsey believes Tennessee should guarantee life, liberty, and opportunity for every person — regardless of race, gender identity, sexual orientation, religion, or background.
She supports full equality and protections for LGBTQIA+ Tennesseans, including protecting trans youth. Everyone deserves the freedom to live openly, love who they choose, and participate fully in their community without fear.
Equity means building systems that work for everyone — not just the powerful or privileged. Representation matters. Protection matters. Fairness matters.
WHERE LINDSEY STANDS
Lindsey has consistently shown up when it counts:
Publicly defended LGBTQIA+ students against harassment
Opposed policies targeting transgender youth
Worked alongside the Tennessee Equality Project (TEP)
Advocated against book bans and censorship
At Nashville Public Library, she co-led a statewide initiative addressing racism in classic children’s literature. Through that work, she:
Led anti-racist training for libraries across Tennessee
Created resources for parents and caregivers
Built diverse, inclusive reading repositories
Spoke nationally on inclusive education
HER WORK
Wilson County families deserve schools and communities where every child feels safe, valued, and respected.
When we invest in equity and inclusion, we strengthen our schools, our workforce, and our local economy — and we ensure that everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
LOCAL IMPACT
Gun Violence Prevention
Gun violence is preventable.
She supports:
Universal background checks
Safe storage requirements
She respects responsible gun ownership — and believes commonsense safeguards save lives.
WHERE LINDSEY STANDS
HER WORK
Active with Moms Demand Action in Wilson County.
Students and parents deserve to feel safe in their schools and communities. Responsible gun laws protect both Second Amendment rights and public safety.
LOCAL IMPACT
Immigration & ICE
Lindsey believes the aggressive policing of immigrant communities does not make us safer — it tears families apart and undermines trust in our institutions.
She supports federal reforms like the No American Gestapo Act and believes ICE, as it currently operates, has caused deep harm to families and communities.
If asked directly: Lindsey supports abolishing ICE in its current form and replacing it with a humane, accountable system.
WHERE LINDSEY STANDS
Lindsey has worked directly with families impacted by ICE enforcement — staying present during stops and ensuring families had support and resources. She believes leadership means showing up when people are afraid.
HER WORK
LOCAL IMPACT
Immigrant families are part of Wilson County’s workforce, schools, and small business community. Policies that separate families destabilize entire neighborhoods.
