New Blue Tennessee

A progressive, grassroots effort to break the Republican supermajority in Tennessee.

[Jerri Green @Jerri_M_Green]

This Saturday marks the 58th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination in Memphis, TN, where his fight for equality and dignity for all was met with derision, hate, and violence. The world lost a great leader that day, but Dr. King’s message could never be silenced by a bullet. It lives on within each of us, and his struggle, our struggle, continues.

Today, Memphis and Tennessee still face challenges that echo the same struggles confronted by Dr. King and his movement. Families still struggle to make ends meet, the rights of women are under constant threat, and we are entrenched in a growing foriegn war with no end in sight. The recent deployment of the National Guardtroops to Memphis, ongoing ICE raids targeting immigrant families, and police violence against peaceful demonstrators, like at Memphis’s recent No Kings Rally, all remind us that Dr. King’s fight for justice is far from over.

As Governor, I will build on Dr. King's legacy, standing firmly on the side of fairness and equality: ensuring all Tennesseans have access to affordable healthcare, fighting for a living wage, defending immigrant communities from fear and persecution, and advancing policies that make our communities safer while upholding human dignity and civil rights.

Dr. King taught us that injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. At a time when some seek to rewrite history, it is more important than ever that we do more than remember. Honoring his legacy means committing ourselves to the work: fighting poverty, protecting our communities, uplifting marginalized voices, and holding our elected leaders accountable.

You know what to do, Tennesseans. Vote him out.

After voting to boost the deficit, refusing to fund healthcare subsidies, refusing to call out the DOJ's decision to let child rapists go free and supporting the president's request to slash funding meant to help Americans in favor of war funding, @timburchett wants your vote.

Tennessee gave $65 million to Oracle to create jobs— guess we should have specified they be jobs for Americans🫤

Trump’s buddy Ellison is firing Americans and replacing them with foreign workers. (And now owns TikTok, CBS, CNN, etc)

Watch oligarchy work. https://t.co/YJThBB2xuO

SEN. @yarbro: “Ending TCAP testing for voucher kids is the clearest evidence yet vouchers were a BAIT & SWITCH. They’re doing it because the data shows voucher kids doing WORSE.”

Even Republicans call it “disingenuous”

Living in the State of Bill Lee, it doesn't surprise us that they want to eliminate property taxes for this hedge funds as they rip away Tennesseans' ability to afford home ownership!

[New Blue Tennessee @NewBlueTenn]

Hopefully we all understand that when Marsha Blackburn talks about a constitutional amendment to ban a state property tax, this she what she is talking about.

He's trying to create images he'll use in his reelection campaign to claim he's all about protecting children but even after seeing unredacted images of girls being raped and tortured by Epstein predators, @timburchett refuses to call out the DOJ for refusing to prosecute them

[Jerri Green @Jerri_M_Green]

While Marsha was calling in favors during Winter Storm Fern, my campaign made hundreds of calls to elderly neighbors to make sure they were safe, warm, and fed.

I’m not in public service to line my own pockets or cut to the front of the line. I’m running for Governor to make sure every Tennessean can get ahead.

It’s time to end Marsha’s stint as a career politician and usher in a new era for Tennessee where we put families over billionaires.

Remember, Tennesseans, @timburchett voted for the BBB, which boosted our deficit by trillions

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

Republicans are about to strip voting from millions of Americans (FOR TRUMP) and they don’t even understand what they’re doing.

[TN House Democrats @TNDemocrats]

When Rep. Sam McKenzie asked how many students were already in private school before applying for Lee’s voucher scam, the answer was “don’t know, don’t care.” TN tax payers deserve to know how many wealthy families are sending their kids to private school on the tax payers dime

[Brad Batt for Tennessee State House @bradbatt]

No second for this in the house committee after it passed 31-1 in the Tennessee Senate is insane

[The Tennessee Holler @TheTNHoller]

“It passed the senate unanimously. We got thousands of emails in support, 0 against. The Ag chair acts like he’s 5, trying to slow down the process. This shouldn’t be partisan.”

@brotherjones_ shreds🔥 @RepChrisTodd’s try to block a bill protecting Maury County’s Duck River

[New Blue Tennessee @NewBlueTenn]

Remember, we live in the State of Bill Lee that can afford to give his business cronies-and himself-a $600m tax rebate but can't afford to eliminate the sales tax on groceries for everyday Tennesseans living paycheck to paycheck!

[New Blue Tennessee @NewBlueTenn]

Pay attention to this folks!

Living in the State of Bill Lee, watch the Republican Majority pay lip service to this much need legislation and attempt once again to run out this session's timeclock without action....

Tennessee Democrats Aftyn Behn and Charlane Oliver are renewing their call to end the state’s grocery tax, while Republicans are divided on the issue.

Hi @RepSwalwell 👋🏽 — we can help… there are many Muslims in Nashville. And @RepOgles is too scared to face them, which is why he never has any town halls.

All he has is twitter courage.
