Tonight! Please join us!

[Justin J. Pearson @Justinjpearson]

I am a 7th generation Tennessean and a Matthew 25 public servant. To me, that means there’s nothing more patriotic than fighting with everything we've got for the least of these.

Thank you @texasdemocrats for having me🙏🏾

It's going to take all of us: https://t.co/f4kOC1OpvN

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

As billionaires and Big Tech take more and more control over our lives and our government, we need leaders like @Justinjpearson who have the experience and track record of standing up to the rich and power-hungry elites.

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

REP. @Justinjpearson on the new maps: “This is just wrong. And everyone knows why this is happening. This is an attack on our Black majority district… we’re changing laws to change statutes to make things that were illegal legal.”

[usamah andrabi @usamahandrabi]

Not enough people are talking about that at Trump's directive, TN Republicans are starting a special session today to gerrymander the state's only Black majority district — Memphis — out of existence.

#TN09 was on track to elect @Justinjpearson in August

[Justice Democrats @justicedems]

First Steve Cohen voted to thank ICE for "protecting our homeland," now he's thanking Donald Trump for sending federal agents to terrorize Memphis.

You can't make this stuff up.

[Justin J. Pearson @Justinjpearson]

I talked about doing "Congress on Your Corner" events last month. The work of an elected official is more than an office in an ivory tower or a strongly worded letter. It's about building real relationships and genuinely connecting with our constituents.

[Justin J. Pearson @Justinjpearson]

Elected officials are accountable to the People, not billionaires or a failing president who is using his office and this political stunt to distract away from his forever war and the Epstein files.

[Justin J. Pearson @Justinjpearson]

Trump is not welcome in Memphis. Join us in solidarity at the No Trump Rally.
We will lift our voices and send a message to Trump, the state, and local leaders who were complicit in allowing the Unsafe Task Force to terrorize our communities for the past six months.

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

“It’s good news.”

MEMPHIS Rep. @Justinjpearson reacts to an @DataProgress poll showing he’s in a virtual tie with Rep. Cohen for the TN-9 congressional seat.

[Justin J. Pearson @Justinjpearson]

Exciting News! Our race is virtually tied against the 20-year incumbent who has $1.8 million dollars from corporate PACs! With just five months to go until Election Day, we can win this! I am proud to have never accepted a penny from corporate PACs.

[Justice Democrats @justicedems]

Meanwhile, Rep. Steve Cohen, when asked in Nov if he had ever attempted to reason with Andy Ogles about his positions, said:

“Well, no...it’s wise to keep your criticism of your fellow Tennessee members down” in case you “need their signatures to get a post office name changed.”

[Justice Democrats @justicedems]

Dems in Congress won't fight back against fascism & corporate greed, so Justice Democrats is building the Democratic party we deserve—through primaries.

Today, we're rolling out our full 2026 slate: our vision to build a team of fighters to build working class power in Congress.

[Justin J. Pearson @Justinjpearson]

102 events in the 84 days since our campaign focused on your present & future launched. It’s time for a new vision, new mission, new direction, and a new voice in District 9. This community has made me into the leader I am and I am fortunate to be running to serve in Congress.

[Sunrise Movement 🌅 @sunrisemvmt]

We're excited to announce our endorsement of @Justinjpearson in TN-09!

Justin J. Pearson has spent his career organizing to hold polluters and politicians accountable and fighting for communities left behind.

He will bring bold, people-powered leadership to Congress.

[Justice Democrats @justicedems]

In the last 10 years, Rep. Steve Cohen has made 100+ stock trades worth $8.5 million.

He sold transportation company stocks while serving on the Transportation & Infrastructure Committee.

Now that he made his millions—& @Justinjpearson is primarying him—he's changing his tune.

[Justice Democrats @justicedems]

Last June, Shri Thanedar & Steve Cohen voted to express “gratitude” to ICE for “protecting the homeland."

Today ICE killed Renee Nicole Gold in cold blood.

We don't need Congressmen that thank ICE.

We need Congressmen that will abolish it like @DonavanMI13 & @Justinjpearson.

[Justin J. Pearson @Justinjpearson]

Gun violence prevention will be one of my priorities in the United States Congress. With our constituents help, it is our turn to chart a new direction for our district and our country! @guardian #ItsAboutUs
