Boosting underfunded Democrats in TN, especially in the reddest districts. We're a non-profit grassroots community project by Every State Blue. #savedemocracy
🥳Woo-hoo! $20,000 raised for TN Democrats!
We are thrilled to announce that in just 6 months, Blue Tennessee’s giving community has donated over $20,000 to underfunded Democratic candidates running for state office in some of Tennessee’s reddest and toughest districts.
THANK YOU for helping to make Blue Tennessee’s inaugural election cycle such a tremendous success!
P.S. It’s never too early to think about 2026, and we’d love to have you join us!

BREAKING: Colorado voters have passed Amendment 79, which enshrines abortion rights in the state constitution and repeals a ban on public funding for abortion.
⚡️ Some GREAT news in NASHVILLE — Shaundelle Brooks @Natrixdreammom - who lost her son in the Waffle House shooting - has WON her race, and is heading to the state house to fight for gun safety on the inside. #FightLikeAMom

We were thrilled to hear this story from Robin Ellison, Blue Tennessee-supported Democratic nominee for TN State Senate, District 8:
"I had just told my best volunteer I only had $14 left and wasn't sure how I was going to afford more yard signs - and then I was notified that I qualified for a Blue Tennessee candidate donation!
That donation was used for 100 signs and ALL of them were set up at POLLING LOCATIONS last night.
"Thank You" will never be enough for the miracle BLUE Tennessee giving community members sent me."
We are SO glad to have been able to help! Robin's rural Tennessee state senate district encompasses Claiborne, Grainger, Hancock, Jefferson, Sevier and Union Counties, and yard signs are often the best way to get the word out quickly that there's a Dem running in a red area.
Best of luck to Robin, who's worked so hard this election cycle, and thank you to all our members for making this kind of support for underfunded TN Dems possible.
We salute every Democratic down-ballot candidate running in a deep red district, all to take the first steps to move the needle and "lose by less." You've earned every hard-won vote you get this election and you have our gratitude.
Signed, red district Democrats everywhere. 💙
From Blue Tennessee-supported Democratic candidate, Cheri Brown, running for TN House Representative in District 37:
"There are many early expenses every campaign incurs, such as access to the state's voter database -$450.00- often before fundraising has even begun. I do not have deep pockets, so I am deeply grateful for Blue Tennessee's donation."
And we're grateful for all your efforts, thank you, Cheri. Best of luck on Election Day!
In Tennessee, we have more Democrats running for state government than we've had in years, and every one agrees that we need responsible gun safety laws in our state. #voteblue
Your last chance to vote is TOMORROW. Get out and cast your ballot for candidates who will work to keep our communities safe from gun violence—not weaken gun safety laws and force more guns into public spaces.

Thanks to Blue Tennessee’s grassroots giving community, TN House District 20's Democratic nominee @KarenGertzTN was able to fund crucial social media ads during early voting.
“With a targeted social media ad reaching 50,000 impressions, I caught the attention of far more voters than I ever could by canvassing alone. I’m incredibly grateful for Blue Tennessee’s support.”
If you're in HD 20 in Blount County, Tennessee, please be sure to vote for Karen Gertz on November 5th!
@MeidasTouch To every man casting a vote for Kamala Harris in support of their wife, their daughters, sisters, friends, neighbors and women around the country, we thank you. #voteblue
According to @USATODAY, here are some interesting (and consequential) races in Tennessee and around the country in the 2024 election. 👇

In many states, safe and legal abortion is a thing of the past, thanks to Trump and extremist Republicans.
Women now face higher pregnancy risks and fewer reproductive choices, depending on where they live.
Trump and his allies should never have had control over women’s rights to their own bodies, and we must make sure it doesn’t happen again.
Vote for Kamala Harris and every Democrat on the ballot to put reproductive rights back in the hands of women - coast to coast - where they belong.
You may have Dem-leaning friends & family in Tennessee who say their vote "doesn't matter."
That couldn’t be further from the truth.
State government controls essential parts of our daily lives - things like healthcare, public schools, and gun safety, to name a few.
And in Tennessee, we need change. Republicans have held power for 14 years, and sometimes just *a handful of votes* can tip an election.
Please encourage friends and family who want new leadership in Tennessee to get out and vote.
With their help, we may just have a few surprises on November 5th. 🙃
Just think of what we could do in so-called red states if every blue dot showed up and voted for Democrats.
A lot of Republicans may just stay home, folks. Don't you want to just show up and outnumber them this time?
Getting ready to vote for Kamala Harris & Tim Walz?
Don't forget to #voteblue straight down the ballot.
State government may not be glamorous, but the party in charge of your state makes decisions about:
• public schools
• healthcare
• reproductive rights
• workers' rights
• LGBTQ rights
• gun safety
• election laws
Please vote for ALL your Democratic candidates. And please tell your friends.
Typical for Tennessee Republicans to take credit for federal programs and investments by Dem administrations - and publicly bash those same programs and investments. 🙄 Tennesseans deserve the truth.
🤥 FACT CHECK: Gov. Bill Lee’s admin sent a 6-page press release taking credit for $101.6M round of broadband grants — all made possible by BIDEN-HARRIS infrastructure investments (which Lee opposed)
