“I am big on healthcare, education, helping our veterans and elderly, infrastructure and jobs. It’s very important to get jobs into the area. We are even looking a attracting an amusement park into the area.

“On medical, we need to close the gap. There’s 280,000 people in the state of Tennessee, 12,000 in Senate District 22 alone, that are totally uninsured because of a gap,” Cutting said.

“We really need to get the tax excemption back in for disabled veterans. It was only a partial fix this past legislation session,” commented Cutting.

On education, Cutting stated, “We need to make our schools stronger. We need to increase teacher’s salaries. We need smaller class sizes. No more 40 students to a class. We need get them down to 20-22.”
