While Marsha claims to care about women and girls, she voted to block the release of the Epstein files in September of last year.
When given the choice between standing with survivors demanding answers and shielding political allies, Marsha chose to protect powerful men. Tennessee deserves better than leadership that puts party ahead of justice for victims.
Tennessee, go vote! Send @MarshaBlackburn back to Mississippi.
On November 3rd, 36 states will elect their next governor. The outcome of these races will make a real difference in the lives of millions of people — but only if you vote.
So join me in electing @DemGovs: democraticgovernors.org

You wanna know why billionaire mega-donors are spending $200 million against me?
Because I don’t take their corporate PAC money — and I never will.
I don’t work for them. I work for you.
What a weak, shitty person. A thug.
Concerned residents packed the Utah County Planning Commission meeting on Tuesday after it unanimously approved a widely unpopular data center ordinance without allowing public comment.
Police quickly moved on concerned residents – including swarming one young woman, dragging her out of the room, and slamming her onto the ground. The woman was left with a concussion and a bruised and swollen jaw. She spent the night in the ER after being released from jail.
An emergency rally was called for Wednesday in response to the brutality. Community members are demanding the termination, arrest, and prosecution of the offending officer – identified as Phil Crawford.

Marsha Blackburn and I have very different priorities about who the Governor should work for.
I want to put a moratorium on data centers and fully fund our public schools.
Marsha wants more data centers and private school vouchers.
I want to eliminate the grocery tax and put more money back in your pockets.
Marsha keeps voting for billionaires to have tax breaks.
Those are real differences. Now you get to decide who's going to work for YOU.
I hope to have your support as the next Governor of Tennessee.
Early Voting: October 14-29
Election Day: November 3
