Making Life better for people in tennessee

Representative Parkinson is a big believer in improving the health of Tennesseans. That’s why he is working to expand access to healthcare for all Tennesseans and to increase funding for important health programs,  and advancing initiatives that provide the best resources and outcomes that Tennessee offers. He knows that if people are healthy, they can be more productive and contribute more to their community. While state and local governments  play a major role in providing access, we must also recognize those community initiatives that help us to leverage opportunities in the best health practices and services available.  Whether its through our community health systems or through our faith based nonprofits, the compassionate people of Tennessee  have the shared goal of bringing awareness, support and all that the state offers to insure low cost  access while addressing the toughest issues that Tennessee communities face.

Representative Parkinson also knows that education has been our greatest problem but is key to improving the quality of life for Tennesseans. That’s why he is fighting to increase funding for public schools and making higher education more affordable. He also wants to make sure that every child or adult seeking education in Tennessee is afforded the best quality education available. This means that all children receive an equitable education experience. This also means supporting our teaches and education staff in the best professional development available while insuring the best pay that they deserve.

Its your money! You deserve to keep as much of it as you can to do the things that are important to you and your family. Representative Parkinson is a big believer in reducing taxes and improving government efficiency so that tax payers are not left carrying the burden. This also means making sure that there are good paying jobs and the economy is growing at a sustainable pace. Additionally, it is vital that job training is available to those who need it and that our communities are hubs for businesses to thrive.
