Jesse Huseth for TN97

It’s that simple.

We’re seeing a mass rejection of Trumpism. Every special election is evidence that now’s the time to push hard for change in leadership in states that have been harmed by corporate-first, family-last policies.

It’s time for change. Let’s get to work and deliver these results for Tennessee!

Mississippi knew better than to let Vouchers plunder their tax dollars. Now, we’re facing the Republican legislature *double* the amount of vouchers issued this year.

Update on Road Conditions here in Memphis:

It looks like roads are clear enough for food deliveries, so expect store shelves to slowly be resupplied.

Roads are still a bit rough, so I'd only go out if you need to.

Stay safe and warm!

Tennessean: “Local democrats rally around Aftyn Behn…”

And some random Memphian the middle of the picture.

Had a great time traveling to Nashville to support Aftyn Behn in flipping a congressional seat.

Let’s get better representation for everyone in our state!

Nothing ends the work day (morning?) better than lunch with Gremlin #1!

It really shouldn’t take a court order to get our government to feed the hungry, but here we are.

There has been enough agreement on both sides of the aisle to get this done, now hopefully the President and his administration will get back to the work of serving the people.

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.

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

Good morning. Throwback Thursday. Let’s Go!

Thank you to everyone who attended & donated to our classroom supply drive! We have BOXES of school supplies going directly to Treadwell Elementary School classrooms.

Huge thank you to TN State Representative Gabby Salinas for taking time from her busy schedule to chat with the East Memphis Democratic Club about immigrant rights and her experience as a newly elected official. Stay tuned for announcements on next month’s speaker.

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.

What a wonderful ceremony and reception!

Congratulations to the newly weds, @JustinJPearson.bsky.social and Oceana. May your lives be filled with joy and fulfillment.
