It’s that simple.

Also, #GTG, no matter what our record.

This was a 31 point swing in a district Trump won by 17 points. In related news, no Democrat in Shelby County has pulled a petition to run in:
TN House 95: Vaughn (mostly Collierville)
TN House 99: Leatherwood (mostly Millington)
TN Senate 31: Taylor (Eastern Shelby)
It’s time for folks to step up.

We’ve re-launched our campaign to flip Tennessee State House 97. With all that is happening in our state, & country, it’s imperative we renew our efforts to elect legislators that will prioritize serving our communities.

Please join our efforts to flip this seat!

Thank you to everyone who came out to sign my petition to run for TN-97 yesterday. We’ll be announcing another location for y’all to stop by and sign, soon.

It’s official. I have pulled my petition to again run for TN-97. Come and sign my petition tomorrow, (Saturday) at the Huey’s at Poplar by Mendenhall from noon til 2pm.
Hope to see you tomorrow, and if not, I’ll see you on the Campaign trail.

Join us this Tuesday as we welcome Mauricio Calvo, CEO of Latino Memphis, along with Heidi Kuhn as our guest Candidate speaker.
If you can, please bring non-perishable items for our food drive.

Vermont is doing its job.

Tennessee has the funds to extend SNAP benefits through the government shutdown, while House/Senate Dems are calling for a Special Session to get it done.

Gov. Lee, however, has decided feeding folks isn’t a priority.

It’s politics over people.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 80th day out of the last 92.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Join us Tuesday, September 30th, as we welcome DA Steve Mulroy (@mulroyda.bsky.social) & Assessor Melvin Burgesss. We hope to see y’all then!

Here is a compilation of Trump affiliates claiming they love free speech

(They're now bragging about cancelling TV shows that offend them)

Just a reminder.
Release the files.

We look forward to seeing you on Tuesday.

Per capita over the last 15 years, Tennessee has lost the most rural hospitals due to our Republican State Legislature’s refusal to expand Medicaid. The loss of 9 additional hospitals would be devastating.

Yep, and our apologies, it will be next Tuesday the 29th.

Some members of mainstream Media are finally saying the quiet part out loud.
