Hi District 9 and supporters! Join our virtual emergency town hall on the Iran war, inflation, and invoking the 25th amendment TONIGHT at 7pm. Join here 👉🏾 us06web.zoom.us/j/8196472930...
Is this a part of a farewell tour? It's time for New Leadership, New Energy, and a New Direction for District 9!
Not my opponent sitting behind me at my job. How does he have time to come to the TN State House amidst the national crises we are facing? DC is in shambles. The president needs to be impeached and the 25th amendment needs to be invoked but he is here shaking hands and greeting Republicans.
Trump is an egregious threat to our country and the world. This is beyond politics—he and his followers have lost sight of the humanity and dignity in human life. It is deeply immoral and unconscionable to threaten to commit genocide. #invokethe25thamendment
Three years ago today, I stood before a TN House filled with hostile Republicans bent on disenfranchising tens of thousands of District 86 residents because I protested against their inaction and unwillingness to stop the gun violence epidemic in Tennessee.
Last night, @justinjpearson.bsky.social reminded @deanobeidallah.bsky.social that Memphis still has National Guard troops in the city, but there is still an epidemic of gun violence that could be solved by addressing poverty.
Ignore them! We are fighting for the soul of our country and for our democracy. It will take each of us standing up for what’s right to win. See you at No Kings this Saturday, Memphis!
Showing up matters, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. There are some elected officials who believe sitting in wood-paneled offices and writing strong letters are enough. There are some who try to belittle the power of organizing, protesting and our right to assemble.
Trump doesn’t run Memphis. Ted Townsend doesn’t run memphis. xAI and Musk doesn’t run memphis. The PEOPLE are the power! Stand with us and millions of people across the country as we say no to authoritarianism and this evil administration!
Trump is not welcome to Memphis, Mane! And he can take his unsafe task force with him when he leaves. We want poverty eradication and real investment in Memphis, not military occupation.
They 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.
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.
Trump—read the room. Memphis doesn’t want you in our city, mane!

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—our campaign is 100% powered by the PEOPLE.
Proof that we share the air! Take a look at how xAI’s Southaven power plant will have a damaging impact on Memphis and Shelby County.
Are you familiar with fine particulate matter PM2.5? If not, log onto our xAI Townhall to learn about how fine particulate matter from gas turbines are polluting our air and damaging our health. Happening now! us02web.zoom.us/j/8893632953...
Hegseth needs to be held accountable, and there must be a full investigation into these actions by the House and the Senate.
Pete Hegseth needs to resign now. It’s a horrible irony that he and the Trump administration said they are in our city to end crime in Memphis, while they are simultaneously committing war crimes in international waters.
Brodie, please know that your sons are loved and taken care of. You are so dearly missed. As you always said, Good Morning, and I love you! 💙🕊️ Rest in Power Brodie 🪽🕊️
I truly believe God is keeping us through this grief and heartache. If you or anyone you love is struggling with thoughts of self-harm, please call 988. Please share that number with anyone you love today.
or when he stood beside me when I was first sworn into office. Life is harder without him physically here, and I miss him daily. Life is different now but I’m doing my best to share the love he had in his heart with my Nephew-Sons, family, and our community.
Every day is a challenge without my Brodie—he never missed an event or occasion. He was always there. I know he would’ve been with me every step of the way for our congressional race too, just like he was when we did debate together in high school
This has been the most difficult year of my life with some momentous moments I know Tim would’ve loved, like our Dr. Mommy’s doctoral graduation and Oceana’s and my wedding in July.
I can’t believe it has been a year since my middle brother, my protector, my one year and four-month older twin, passed away from this life to life eternal. I really don’t have the right words to express it.
The same families struggling today are about to see an increase in medical debt and agony due to the heartlessness of the Republican Party. Elections matter which is why one of my core pillars in this campaign is Healthcare for Everybody! #ItsAboutUs
People will not have insurance and pray not to need a doctor. Emergency rooms will be primary care.
I would not support ending trump’s shutdown until health care premium extensions were a guarantee! How are families who are paying $400 today for health insurance going to pay $1600 at the start of the year? Rural hospitals will close.
