Chris Finley
6th Congressional District

Christopher Finley is a Tennessee native, accountant, small business owner, and community advocate seeking to represent Tennessee’s 6th Congressional District in the United States House of Representatives. Born in White County and raised on his family’s farm just south of Sparta, Finley developed a strong work ethic at an early age through farm work, including raising Holstein calves, hauling hay, and working tobacco crops.

A graduate of Tennessee Technological University with a degree in accounting and a minor in history, Finley began his professional career with Comdata Network in Nashville. He later built a diverse career in hospitality and restaurant management, operated his own business, and worked as a professional actor.

Finley believes effective public service is built on three core principles: work ethic, being present, and earning the trust of the people you represent. Drawing on his professional experience, rural upbringing. and commitment to service, he seeks to bring a practical. constituent-focused approach to Congress and advocate for policies that help Tennessee communities grow and prosper.

It’s my desire to bring representative democracy back to the 6th Congressional District. For too long representatives are elected and then disappear. My mentors are Joe L. Evans and Al Gore Jr. My core values are a strong work ethic, being present, and trust. As a student of history, this District has been represented by outstanding individuals such as Cordell Hull, Al Gore Sr. and Jr., and Joe L. Evans. Two of those individuals won the Nobel Peace prize. This District at the very least deserves a person that will put their needs first and be transparent and accessible.
