Positions

LiberalConservative

Healthcare

Johnny Garrett has sponsored and supported state-level legislation that reduces regulatory constraints on health providers (for example, proposals to change certificate-of-need rules) and has been connected with Republican efforts around Medicaid funding options. His legislative activity and public positioning align with market-oriented, deregulatory approaches rather than expanding large federal entitlement programs.

Immigration & Border

Supports strengthening enforcement while also supporting reforms to the legal immigration system such as streamlining legal pathways; has publicly criticized local officials for responses that oppose ICE enforcement.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights

The candidate supports strict abortion restrictions and has voted in favor of Tennessee legislation that limits abortion access, including measures tied to the state’s Human Life Protection/abortion ban. His legislative record and scorecards align with a pro-life, restrictive position on abortion policy.

Climate & Energy

Publicly available records show Johnny Garrett has sponsored or co‑sponsored state legislation related to weather modification and has been publicly involved in matters connected to electric utility response to storms, but there are no clear campaign- or office-level statements outlining a comprehensive climate or energy policy (for example, support for the Paris Agreement, a Green New Deal, carbon pricing, or explicit fossil-fuel expansion).

Public Safety & Guns

Johnny Garrett has publicly opposed Governor Bill Lee’s proposed “red flag” (ERPO) legislation and has said the Legislature should focus on mental health rather than measures that he views as violating the Second Amendment. He identifies as a pro-Trump conservative and emphasizes protecting public safety while defending gun rights.
