Lonnie Spivak for US Congress – TN 5th District

A native Nashvillian, Lonnie grew up in the Bellevue area, where he attended the Hillwood school cluster. Upon graduating high school, he moved to Atlanta where he enrolled in the Art Institute of Atlanta. After a stint in Georgia, Lonnie decided that he wanted to continue his design education closer to home. He transferred to Middle Tennessee State University where he received his Bachelor’s degree in graphic design, later he attended Vanderbilt University’s School of Engineering and received a Microsoft Systems Engineer certification.

In 1996, Lonnie married Staci, the love of his life, and joined Burgundy Group Advertising. Since that time, he has launched AdVerb Design, a full-service design firm, and C-Suite Portfolios, a company that produces portfolio resumes for professionals seeking new opportunities.

Throughout his career, Lonnie has always found ample time to spend with his two daughters, Gillian and Lexi. He also works with a number of noteworthy charities, including the T.J. Martell Foundation, which funds critical research in cancer, leukemia, and AIDS.

In fact, Lonnie is just like tens of thousands of other individuals who live in Tennessee’s fifth district— hard-working, principled, and hoping to create a brighter future for our children- and their children.

Lonnie’s interest in politics began in 1992 during the presidential campaign season. He really found his conservative roots during the 1994 mid-term elections when Newt Gingrich and the “Contract for America” took the political pundits by surprise and Republicans took control of the House. Lonnie came to realize that the philosophies of Ronald Reagan were vital to a strong and healthy America.

Ever since, Lonnie has pursued a conservative path with unwavering commitment. He has never been timid regarding his point of view and he never apologizes for his philosophies. Additionally, he doesn’t bow to political correctness. Instead, Lonnie believes that our system of government was not designed for career politicians. He believes that a strong defense is essential for peace. But first and foremost, Lonnie believes that small, limited government is imperative for the future of our children and grandchildren. It is essential to ensure that they enjoy the same liberties and freedoms enjoyed by our generation and those before us.

Initially, Lonnie was inspired to pursue political office after participating in the Tax Day Tea Party Protest. The thought that a group of tens of thousands of people across the country, many of whom had no previous protest experience, were coming together to fight the Left in Washington moved him deeply. He desires to return our government to one that remembers the first words of the Preamble, “We the People.” Lonnie’s greatest hope is to bring the philosophies of Ronald Reagan back to prominence, to restore the United States as the envy of the world, and return us to an economic superpower.
