Welcome to TennSight

A commentary on the intersection of Tennessee politics & policy

Welcome to TennSight, where I will share my Tennessee political analysis and policy commentary. Here, I will provide you with the insight you need to ensure that the votes you cast for elected officials align with your values.

I’ve spent my whole career—nearly two decades now—at the intersection of politics and policy. People often ask me my thoughts on election results and trends, and in my day job as CEO of the Beacon Center, I drive public policy reform in our state. I also love to write, so here we are.

By subscribing to my TennSight Substack, you will get frequent—but not annoyingly so—articles where I dive deeper into Tennessee election results and trends that often get overlooked or drowned out by national political coverage.

I’ll also give my take on policy debates that are dominating the news cycle, as well as those that aren’t receiving as much attention as they perhaps should.

And I will analyze polling conducted in the state to offer my perspective about what Tennesseans really care about when it comes to their everyday lives and how that might play out in those policy debates and at the ballot box. My next article will delve deeper into the results of the latest Beacon Poll released earlier this week, which will likely be the last statewide poll released before Election Day.

If you want to become a more informed voter, this Substack is for you. I hope you will find it valuable. I’ll be in touch again soon.
