Greg shares his one small step story—how growing up in a tight-knit community shaped his passion for people, service, and storytelling, ultimately leading him into public policy. From advocating for students in the Tennessee legislature to working in Congress and joining Americans for Prosperity, his path highlights how everyday experiences can lead to meaningful impact. The conversation also dives into AFP’s “True Cost of Washington” campaign, where Greg traveled the country helping lower gas prices for everyday Americans—while hearing firsthand how rising costs affect families, workers, and small businesses.
