Hi, my name is Bryan Langan, and I’m running to bring accountability to our government and affordability to the people of Tennessee. 

A graduate of the University of Tennessee, and a current resident of the Karns community, I’m running for Tennessee Senate to represent the people of District 7. Having worked in blue collar jobs for nearly three decades, my experience in the service industry, management and transition to the trades means I know first-hand the challenges Tennessee workers face. I believe that instead of listening to the corporations and special interests, it is time for the voice of people to be heard and hope to earn the vote of every hard-working Tennesseean in District 7.

For the past 15 years the Tennessee GOP has held all three branches of our state government. They could pass anything they want to make life better and more affordable for Tennesseans. Instead, under their leadership, costs are higher and services lower. Thanks to their refusal to expand Medicaid we have fewer hospitals offering fewer services in our communities which puts a strain on the entire healthcare system. Thanks to their leadership we have healthcare and particularly maternity deserts in Tennessee. The cost of basic utilities like water and electricity are skyrocketing. Housing costs have gone through the roof. Wages haven’t kept up and job growth has come to a screeching halt, making the purchase of a home nearly impossible for many hardworking Tennesseans. Instead of addressing affordability, they pass culture war bills attacking women, the poor and minorities. They continuously side with corporations and profit over the people of Tennessee, passing legislation that allows companies to take advantage of our workers, pollute our waterways and destroy our land.

Tennesseans are fed up, and we deserve better.

Our government should be working on the issues that improve the lives of Tennesseans instead of the divisive and oppressive politics of our current supermajority. My focus will be on delivering tangible benefits for the people of Tennessee and making sure their voices are represented long after I’m gone. That’s why I will work to pass campaign funding laws that curb corporate influence in our elections and will introduce legislation to enact term limits for senators, representatives and judges in Tennessee. This November I hope I will have earned your vote and the privilege to represent you in Nashville. When elected, I will work to defend the rights of all Tennesseans, make Tennessee more affordable and ensure future generations have access to the natural beauty of our state.
