TN-07 SPECIAL ELECTION ENDORSEMENT ALERT

"Today, I am proud to endorse Aftyn Behn for the special election in Tennessee's 7th Congressional District. I know that Aftyn is ready to fight for the people of this district in Washington." - Gay Valimont Founder Engage Y’all PAC

🚨TODAY OCT. 7🚨 is the primary election in TN-07. It’s time to vote. If you need to know where to vote, visit our website at engageyall.com. #electionday #tennessee #shutdown #congress #fyp

Special elections are special opportunities, and we have no time to waste. I didn’t win my race in April but I moved a deeply red district 22 points. I’m jumping in to help in TN-07 because they have a special election and I have an opportunity to pay it forward. #Shutdown #democrats #tennessee

Republicans have been completely upfront about Project 2025. This shutdown is another piece of the plan. Their entire strategy is dismantling the system, and they’ve made no effort to hide it, it was an open-book test.

Thanks for having me on the @hesnotwrong.bsky.social to talk about Engage Y’all’s work to elect dems in the south. Listen here: www.hesnotwrongpodcast.com

I know that right now, as Democrats, there’s so much out of our control. Here’s what I do know: we have a real opportunity in front of us. There’s a special election happening in TN-07. I’m putting all my energy into TN and I hope you’ll join me in stepping up. #TN #specialelection

People often say politics is personal, but too often, we overlook just how deeply political decisions can impact our everyday lives.

This month, as we honor Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, we also remember Eli Valimont, who passed away four years ago.

The tragedy in Minnesota was not carried out by the shooter alone Republican Lawmakers share responsibility. They could change this but choose not to. The GOP’s ‘pro-life’ agenda blocks real action to save kids leaving children to die at their hands.

Pentagon fires heads of Navy Reserve, Naval Special Warfare Command Vice Adm. Nancy Lacore and Rear Adm. Milton “Jamie” Sands were relieved of command, in the latest firing of senior military officials.

The Pentagon has fired the Navy Reserve’s top leaders, signaling more than a personnel change. Political influence in the ranks undermines stability and trust, disrupting the continuity our armed forces depend on.

Trump met with Zelenskyy, calling it “peace.” In reality:land swaps, appeasing Putin+chasing a Nobel prize. Then he comes home pushing plans to gut vote-by-mail. Reminder:VBM is state-run. In FL, rolls are cleared every 2 yrs, re-enroll today via your SOE+plan to elect dems to vote this madness out.

It’s here. ICE on our streets and now DeSantis’s so-called “Deportation Depot” internment camp. This isn’t security. It’s cruelty.
Demand oversight. Fund legal aid. Show up. Resist.
We’re better than this.

Two years ago, we launched a campaign from my porch with nothing but heart + hustle. Today, on my late husband’s birthday, I’m taking the next step in our fight for a better South. Stay tuned. Big news coming. 🍊 #NotDoneYet #EngageYall

8/9 marks 2 yrs since I launched my first Congressional campaign, from my porch, with heart & hope.

It’s also my late husband’s birthday. He believed in service and community.

So tomorrow we launch: Engage, Y’all! A PAC for a better South. Personal. Political. Just the beginning. 🍊

As a Georgia native and NW Florida resident, this one hits hard. Our troops should never fear for their safety on base. We need answers, accountability, and action. I won’t stop fighting until service and safety go hand in hand.

Trump said it: “We are entitled to 5 more seats.”
Not earned. Entitled.
Now Jimmy Patronis is echoing it in FL, calling Fair Districts “unconstitutional.”
This isn’t about reps, it’s about rigging maps to erase voters.
Fight back or get erased.
#EngageYall #FairDistricts

Two years ago on 8/9, to honor my late husband’s birthday, we launched a campaign from my porch with nothing but heart + hustle. After 22 months on the trail, I’m taking a breath, I’m not running… yet. But I’m not going anywhere. Big news coming soon. #EngageYall #NotDoneYet ✨

Moving the goal post, huh?

Florida voters passed Fair Districts to stop this kind of rigging. Calling them “unconstitutional” is a joke. This isn’t about states’ rights, it’s a racist power grab.

Host a townhall now, before I do.
#StayEngagedYall

Another mass shooting. Another life lost. While media obsesses over Epstein + Trump drama, gun violence keeps taking lives. I've fought this fight for over a decade, how many more candles do we light before Congress acts?

We’re not distracted. We’re furious.

Texas GOP just dropped a redistricting map to boost Trump in 2028. Reminder: FL Rep. Patronis admitted they draw maps to help Republicans win.

This isn’t strategy, it’s voter suppression. We fight back.

Texas Republicans release a redistricting plan that could achieve Trump's aims Republicans in the Texas House have released a proposed new redistricting map that seeks to fulfill President Trump's desire to add up to five additional GOP congressional seats in the state.

Melissa Hortman was assassinated in an act of political violence. @EngageYall stand's with all courageous women who lead with truth. We uplift candidates, who refuse to back down in the face of violence @DebbieforFL @FentriceForFL @JenkinsBrevard @traciedavisjax @JenniferAdamsFL

I’m a proud American, but when Congress took healthcare from millions, like my son Eli, who died of cancer, and my husband Brian, who lost his life to ALS, I lost my appetite for celebration. Those who voted for this bill don’t care about families. My mission: to replace them with real leaders.

Gay Valimont overperforms in Florida’s 1st Congressional District,

I am so incredibly grateful to Team Valimont and every person who has banged on a door, made a phone call, donated, or simply believed in this campaign. Thank you for standing with me. We wouldn't have made it this far without you. - Gay 🧡

Today, we conclude a campaign that was built on the belief that every voice matters. While the results were not what we hoped for, I am proud of the journey we’ve taken and the conversations I have had over the last 20 months. This is hard, but this is how we change things. It takes time. My opponent now must attempt to represent the people of this district after not having the decency to campaign here or have any policy points he put forth. I plan to attend his first town hall and am interested to hear about his plans for Florida’s First.
