Why I'm Running
My name is Mike Croley and I'm running for Congress because I’ve seen too much to sit quietly.
I’m a Navy veteran, a former park ranger, and until recently, a federal employee. Recently I have seen our government get hollowed out from the inside. Vital programs have been slashed, truth has been twisted, and leadership has been handed over to unqualified grifters more interested in attention than service.
I didn’t leave because I gave up. I left because I had to fight back.
The Restore Agenda
What I'll Fight For as Your Representative
1
Restore Healthcare as a Right
No one should go broke for seeing a doctor or be told by politicians how to live their life. Donald Trump and Republicans promised to protect Medicaid, Medicare and the Affordable Care Act, but they are slashing those programs. I promise to join Democrats in Congress to restore healthcare rights and claw back the $$$ Congress gave to billionaires.
2
Restore Civility & Accountability
In a time of growing distrust in government, we must restore the core values that sustain our democracy: transparency, responsiveness, and civility. As your representative, I will ensure open communication, listen and respond to your concerns, and foster respectful dialogue—because good governance begins with accountability, genuine connection, and a commitment to serving with integrity.

Restore Stewardship
Tennessee’s natural beauty is unmatched—but it’s under threat. As federal policy shifts away from clean energy, jobs are lost and progress reversed. Let’s keep Tennessee wild, working, and rooted. Click to learn how recent legislation could harm our land, economy, and future—and why good leadership is needed now to protect what makes Tennessee truly special.

Restore Honor to Service
Veterans, teachers, first responders, and public servants deserve more than thanks, they deserve respect, resources, and dignity. Service should never mean sacrifice without support. I’ll fight to ensure those who serve our communities and country are treated with the honor they’ve earned.
5
Restore Fair Wages & Dignity at Work
American workers are more productive than ever, yet their wages remain flat while CEO pay soars. This isn’t just economic injustice—it’s a failure to honor the dignity of work. I’m running for Congress to fight for fair wages, the right to organize, and an economy that respects every worker’s contribution and effort.
6
Restore Voting Rights
The right to vote is the foundation of our democracy and the heart of the age-old struggle for equality and justice. In Congress, I’ll fight to protect early voting, end partisan gerrymandering, and restore voting rights to those who’ve served their time—because in Tennessee, every voice matters, and every vote must truly count.
