Iâm in this race because Tennesseans deserve better. That was made crystal clear earlier this year, in the wake of the horrific Nashville school shooting. Thousands of Tennesseans descended on the state Capitol to demand action on gun violence prevention, but the GOP majority refused to give them a voice. So two of my colleagues and I stood up to join their historic protest. I knew it was against the rules. I knew it would piss the GOP leadership off. But I couldnât let the Covenant families, young people, and parents from across the state stand alone. The Republican majority took quick action, but not on gun violence. Both my colleagues, Representatives Justin J. Pearson and Justin Jones, were expelled. I was spared by a single vote. Then the GOP majority passed a new law to increase access to guns. MAGA Republicans in Nashville and Washington donât give a damn about us. They donât give a damn about using power to save lives or help the people who elected them into office. They only care about their big campaign donors and special interest lobbyists. But one thing has changed â the people are on our side, and they are standing up to demand action and make the change we need. Thereâs a movement afoot in Tennessee. Iâm standing tall to take on Senator Marsha Blackburn now because Tennessee deserves better. Period. Marsha has failed us in her five years in office. Sheâs voted against everything from pandemic relief to ensuring equal pay for women. Sheâs supported tax breaks for corporations while opposing laws to keep life-saving drug prices down. Sheâs a danger to reproductive rights, cruel to LGBTQ+ folks, and she refuses to fight for our right to vote. Sheâs also taken over a million dollars from the NRA while refusing to take action on the most basic, commonsense legislation to protect our children from the threat of gun violence. We have a senator who stands with bullies, and I have a reputation for standing up to bullies. Marsha Blackburn has shown us who she works for, and itâs not us. Sheâs had five years and nothing is getting done. Tennesseans deserve someone who will stand up to corrupt special interests and fight for lower costs so that every family can build a good life. Itâs time we do something about it. [But I need your help to get our campaign off the ground and make it to the Senate. Make a Founding Donation to help me defeat the GOP and deliver for our state!

With you, Gloria
314 Action is the only national organization working to elect Democrats with backgrounds in science and medicine at ALL levels of government â from the Senate down to local school boards. Since 2017, weâve supported more than 500+ candidates and reached millions of swing voters on their behalf with our data-driven messaging campaigns. Our candidates led the charge to flip the House in 2018, the Senate in 2021, and a handful of state legislatures in 2022. Now, there are more scientists in office than at any point in U.S. history. No one is better equipped to craft policy to address pressing issues like gun violence, climate change, healthcare reform, or restoring reproductive rights than scientific professionals. Recent polling confirms that scientific and medical professionals have some of the highest approval ratings and levels of trust among voters â Meaning our candidates are better positioned to win tough races and can cut through the partisan divide! 100% of our work is powered by individual donations and our average donation is just $19. We plan on supporting more Democratic scientists and medical professionals in virtually every state this election cycle than at any point in our history. With you by our side, weâll defend our Senate majority, retake the House, keep the White House blue, and elect a historic wave of Democrats to state legislatures and local office.
