Woke up at sunrise feeling rested, rain tapping on the windows. I walked to my office, started working, then heard an angel singing down the hall—my beautiful other half bringing me coffee. In that moment, I was reminded just how lucky I am to love her and call her mine. ❤️☕️

As an elected official in Nashville TN, I get weekly reports on guns stolen from cars. So far in 2025, 748 guns—up from 687 last year. 76% came from unlocked vehicles. Stop arming criminals. Lock your doors, remove valuables, and never leave firearms in your car. This is public safety.
