About Nick:

A lifelong Tennessean, Nick is a student and researcher of economics, public policy, and social inequality at Vanderbilt University. As a student, community leader, and candidate, his biggest priorities are tackling Tennessee's housing, healthcare, and hunger crises. Nick has experience working for the Tennessee Department of Treasury and the Federal Reserve Board of Governors. While Nick loves conducting policy research, he knows the only way to make real change is to go out and run for it — and that's why he needs your support for District 56!
