Positions
Economy & Taxes
Vincent Dixie has promoted targeted tax relief measures for households—highlighting his role in efforts to suspend Tennessee’s grocery sales tax—and frames his economic approach as pro-working families and economic populism. Public materials emphasize relief at the register and disrupting predatory housing purchases by large investors, but do not lay out a comprehensive tax policy (e.g., positions on corporate tax rates or tax increases on high earners).
Healthcare
Supports expanding coverage and protecting Medicare and Medicaid while lowering drug costs; has sponsored state legislation to expand Medicaid eligibility for people in substance use treatment and to address prescription drug pricing. Advocates access to affordable, quality care regardless of income or ZIP code.

Immigration & Border
Supports making the immigration process less cumbersome and creating an easier pathway to citizenship; opposed expansion of state-level immigration enforcement measures and voted against bills that would create new state enforcement mechanisms or increase cooperation with federal immigration authorities.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Vincent Dixie supports access to abortion and has opposed Tennessee bills that would further restrict abortion access; he has said the decision to continue a pregnancy should be between the pregnant person, their family, and their physician rather than the government. He has voted against pieces of legislation that would limit reproductive health services and has been endorsed by Tennessee Advocates for Planned Parenthood for that record.
Climate & Energy
Vincent Dixie sponsored state legislation to place a price on carbon and has advocated using revenue to invest in local communities and support alternative energy solutions. His legislative activity shows support for market-based carbon pricing and climate-related economic development at the state level.
Public Safety & Guns
The candidate prioritizes gun violence prevention and supports measures to reduce gun harm, including opposing permitless carry and advocating for training and safety requirements. Policy specifics mentioned on his campaign site and public comments emphasize prevention and regulation while recognizing gun ownership concerns.
