CLAIRE’S PLAN FOR THE ECONOMY

Keep Tennessee taxes low and always balance the state budget.

Invest our state surplus in public school jobs and infrastructure — including roads, public transit, and fiber optic internet — and use public engagement and community engagement so the plan is collaborative and communicated fairly.

Restore and expand the Main Street style infrastructure that supports small business, while protecting the greenspace outside of the city limits.

Cut the red tape on construction to increase housing supply and lower the cost to buy or rent.

Leverage our community’s quality of life and commitment to education to make Williamson County bring more high-paying jobs in innovation and technology.

Create a public-private partnership where businesses can pool voluntary contributions from employees and employers to lower the cost of child care. 

Bring more family-oriented tourism to Williamson County so that our community can reap the benefits of Nashville’s success.

Stand up for solutions to social problems that bear hidden costs on the economy, including gun safety, domestic violence and child abuse.

Expand TennCare to all working but uninsured adults. Claire’s plan would cost the state nothing, create health care jobs in our community and lower costs for everyone.

Tax e-cigarette and vape products just like cigarettes and use the dividend to invest in the home health care workers we need for the future.
