Why I’m Running
I’m running to be a voice for the people of District 43 — not politics, not Nashville insiders — YOU. I believe in:
- Local control
- Strong families
- Safe communities
- Protecting our freedoms
MEET DEWAYNE HOWARD
DeWayne Howard is a lifelong resident of Tennessee with a deep-rooted commitment to the values that define Warren and White Counties. As a dedicated family man and community leader, he understands the challenges facing our district and is ready to be our strong conservative voice in Nashville. His life's work has been built on the foundations of hard work, faith, and a relentless pursuit of freedom for all citizens.
Growing up surrounded by the beauty of District 43, DeWayne learned early on that our community is our greatest asset. He is running for State Representative to ensure that our conservative principles—protecting constitutional rights, supporting law enforcement, and fostering a pro-family environment—are represented with integrity. We believe in a future where Tennessee remains a beacon of liberty and opportunity for every generation to come.
