ALL IN FOR CHANGE. STARTS WITH TENNESSEE. SPREADS NATIONWIDE.
I’m Craig Ballin, and I’m running for Congress in Tennessee’s 5th District because I’m tired of the unethical, corrupt politicians in Washington. We need a government built for working people—not the entrenched elite & corporations. For too long, incumbents have hidden behind party politics while ignoring the real pains and priorities of everyday families. I believe people-powered democracy should win, not old power & money structures.
I stand for transparency, accountability, and true representation. My mission is simple: to break open Washington, hold lawmakers to the same rules they pass for us, and restore the promise of government by We the People.
-
Education – Public school funding is intended for public schools, not wealthy families. Kill the vouchers. Retain teachers.
-
Health Care – We are tired of insurance companies and the government gutting health care. 1 in 4 Tennesseeans are on Tenn Care (Medicare), which will be lost due to the BBB vote in favor for by the current Tennessee congressmen.
-
Freedom with Responsibility — I support the Constitution in full. I also support holding officials legally accountable when they act outside of it; for insiders, not the public.
-
Christian for Pro‑Choice— Private decisions are private, and government interference is unacceptable.
-
Pro‑Gun & Pro-Gun Reform — How does that work? 80% of the US wants and understands that some level of gun reform needs to happen.
-
Economic Justice for the Middle Class — Raise income, not taxes. Cut corporate loopholes, not essential services.
-
Government Reform — Term limits, age limits, or cognitive exams, federal watchdog apps—real innovations to keep public servants in check.
-
Legal System Reform — Those upholding the law need to have accountability, and I believe I have a higher standard of integrity.
I’m not running to join the political club—I’m running to challenge it. I’m not here to preserve the status quo—I’m here to refresh it.
Because whether you’re a Democrat or a Republican, chances are you’re tired of politicians in Washington. It’s time for real change. It’s time to refresh. And above all, it’s time to unite—because divided we fall, but together we thrive.
