Q1 Data centers and the TVA grid (Energy / AI / Environment) – Data center electricity use in the Tennessee Valley has grown roughly sevenfold since 2020, and in the Memphis area, gas turbines powering AI data centers have raised air-quality concerns. What specific policies, if any, would you support to protect Tennesseans’ electricity bills, grid reliability, and air quality as data centers expand?

Koyaanisqatsi. Humans have been conditioned to be, IMHO, good economic slaves (GES). A Curriculum Of Common Knowledge, STEAM rich and logic based, would assist humans in achieving liberty from economic slavery and other false concepts. Eugenics, religion, royalty, money, monogamy, borders, ownership concepts, all false. To be specific, humans will be encouraged to reunite with nature which would help to regain balance. Not for profit but for peace. Humans can still acquire knowledge without pursuit of capital. Tabula rasa.

Q2 Childhood vaccination (Public Health / Trust in Science) – According to the Tennessee Department of Health, roughly 80% of Tennessee counties fall below the 95% kindergarten vaccination rate needed to prevent outbreaks of diseases such as measles. What policies, if any, would you support to manage vaccine-preventable diseases in Tennessee?

Mercury is toxic. Why put mercury in vaccines? Antivaxxers have questions. Trust has been broken. The Tuskegee Experiment, and who knows what ever else the population has not been informed of. Humans have been inoculating against illness for centuries. The task is to rebuild trust, convince those who do not trust the oligarchs and their minions, that there is not culling of the poorly educateds/uneducated, unwashed masses.

Q3 Flooding and extreme-weather resilience (Environment / Climate) – Two years after Tropical Storm Helene, East Tennessee communities are still rebuilding, and a 2026 winter storm left hundreds of thousands of Tennesseans without power. What specific steps, if any, would you take to prepare Tennessee’s communities, infrastructure, and power grid for severe weather?

Life out of balance, once again. www.Domegaia.com, www.earthshipglobal.com, on Andrew Youtube, Andrew Millison Channel, The Venus Project: The Choice is Ours, all have practical ideas for living in harmony/mitigating harm and destructive aspects of/with nature.

Q5 State Science Education (K-12 Science Education) Secondary science (biology, chemistry, and physics) is one of the subject areas where Tennessee schools most often face teacher vacancies or rely on teachers with emergency credentials, and Tennessee lost a larger share of its teachers between 2023 and 2025 than any other state. What specific state policies, if any, would you support to recruit and keep qualified science teachers in Tennessee classrooms, particularly in rural and high-need districts?

Science over superstition. Majority sets status quo. The current paradigm for most humans, is that a god of some sort, created us. IMHO, logic is not encouraged in a huge way. the oligarchs and their hired minions utilizing a variety of tactics, oppose logical thought, in order to maintain the economic slavery system. The aforementioned, Curriculum Of Common Knowledge, once instituted, would accelerate liberty from all false concepts. Tabula rasa. Like how humans are conditioned to be good economic slaves (GES), humans can be conditioned to seek empirical truth, as opposed to treasuring ignorance.

Q6 Trust in science (Policymaking Process / Trust in Science) – Distrust in science has been on the rise among the general public and policymakers, which has been associated with changes in federal funding for scientific research. In order to bridge this gap, how do you think scientists and policymakers can work together to strengthen their communication?

Don’t start none, won’t be none. In order to try to maintain empires, lies are told to the uneducated, unwashed masses. Quote from George Bush Jr., “Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice….” , (corrected saying, can be viewed on the socials, for accuracy), offers another answer. With all the unpunished maleficence that the populous has viewed and continue to view, other than being as honest as you can be without admitting to a felony, I am unable to offer the answer to credibility repair. It is the entire corrupt system that people have lost faith in, (end of empire cycle/pattern recognition). Let people know the truth that we’ve been lied to for centuries.
