From the campaign:

Ryan Haynes is a lifelong Tennessean with a heart for service and a sincere dedication to his community. He is a product of Knox County Schools, graduating from Farragut before earning a degree from the University of Tennessee. After school, Ryan joined Regions Bank. As a banker, he has assisted families in meeting their financial needs while also helping new businesses to start and existing businesses to grow. He is a member of First Baptist Church of Concord and is active in several community organizations. Ryan has been a loyal Republican, voting in every primary he has been eligible to participate in.

As a political outsider, Haynes will bring something different to the Tennessee General Assembly.

“I see a political system that needs new life. I want to serve because I can bring the energy to help us reach higher and be the state and community we can be. Our government needs to serve the people, not special interests or local government employees” Haynes said. “We need to renew our strength while standing on the conservative principles that have made this such a great place to live and work.”

Haynes opposes a state income tax, a statewide property tax, as well as increases to the gasoline tax. He supports a more fiscally responsible budget while prioritizing education. He will be an advocate for small business and taxpayers alike. He favors strong family values and will stand tough against crime.
