Natisha Brooks is a Republican candidate running for election to the U.S. House of Representatives in Tennessee's 6th Congressional District [1]. She appears on the ballot for the Republican primary scheduled for August 6, 2026 [1]. As of 2020, Brooks attended Prairie View A&M University and operated The Brooks Academy, a home-schooling institution [1].

Brooks has previously sought higher office. In 2020, she ran in the Republican primary for the U.S. Senate seat in Tennessee, where she was eliminated during the primary process [7]. She also appeared on the ballot as a candidate for Mayor of Nashville in the August 3, 2023, general election, which followed the retirement of incumbent John Cooper [3]. In that race, she was one of twelve candidates running in the nonpartisan contest [4].

Regarding her political positions, Brooks identified as a "Conservative (Conditional)" during her 2020 Senate campaign. She expressed strong agreement with the statement that human life begins at conception and deserves legal protection at every stage, and stated she does not believe in abortion [8]. She supported the construction of a wall on the U.S. border and agreed that state and federal funds should be denied to sanctuary cities [8]. On economic issues, she disagreed that it is the government's responsibility to ensure everyone has a livable income and strongly agreed that free enterprise and private property are essential elements of a productive economic system [8]. She also advocated for term limits on legislators, specifically proposing two terms [8].

In her 2023 mayoral campaign, Brooks described herself as a former educator and outlined a commitment to equitably funding the arts. She proposed that art and art history classes should be required from Pre-K through graduation and suggested using art as a tool for restorative justice in the school system to address student disagreements [17].
