From a constituent in Brownsville, TNVote Yes on the Merkley War Powers Resolution
Vote yes on Sen. Merkley's war powers resolution the next time it comes to the floor. The Senate just failed — for the seventh time — to assert Congress's basic constitutional authority over war. That's not a partisan issue. That's a failure of the institution. The War Powers Resolution of 1973 exi

From a constituent in Knoxville, TNIran Concerns
Numbers released by the Department of Labor show that inflation in April hit its highest level since 2023. When a reporter asked Trump to what extent Americans’ financial situation is motivating him to make a deal with Iran, he answered: “Not even a little bit. The only thing that matters when I’
From a constituent in Nashville, TNShame on you
I am writing to you today to let everyone know that I find it appalling that our state was allowed to redistrict the 9th district in Memphis, disenfranch ising large numbers of black Americans. This is horrible and I will do everything in my power to vote anyone that contributed to this out of their

From a constituent in Brownsville, TNForce the Virginia Supreme Court's Hand — Lower the Judicial Retirement Age Now
Lower the mandatory judicial retirement age for Virginia Supreme Court justices and insert it into the budget bill before June 30. Voters ratified that constitutional amendment.

From a verified voter in Crossville, TNI have lived in your districts for 14 years since moving here from Connecticut. In all that time I have not seen anything that this states legislature has done to make the lives of the average Tennessean better.

From a constituent in Brownsville, TNCut Defense Spending and Tax the Wealthy to Address National Debt
I'm asking you to prioritize defense cuts and higher taxes on billionaires to address our national debt crisis. US debt just exceeded 100 percent of GDP for the first time since 1946, and we're now spending more on interest payments than on defense itself. The Congressional Budget Office projects t
From a constituent in Brownsville, TNRequest for Clarification on Constituent Services
I need to know if your office is taking constituent concerns seriously. I attempted to access information about pending legislation through your official channels, but the system failed completely. This isn't just a technical glitch—it's a barrier between voters and the transparency we deserve. You
From a constituent in Brownsville, TNSupport the Six-Figure Limit to Save Social Security
I need you to support the Six-Figure Limit proposal to prevent Social Security from collapsing in 2033. When the trust fund runs dry in less than seven years, I'll face an automatic 25% cut to my benefits. That's $18,400 a year for a medium-income couple like mine. I can't afford that. The Six-Figu
From a constituent in Nashville, TNOppose Mid-decade TN Congressional Map Redistricting
I am writing to express my opposition to any redistricting or changes to the congressional map for TN. The proposed map will take greatly dilute Shelby County/Memphis of their representation in congress in a way that and greatly hampers their ability to have their issues addressed in congress. I can

From a constituent in Nashville, TNStop redistricting. People deserve to be heard, not divided and buried amongst citizens of rural communities. We see this oppression. It will not stand.
From a verified voter in Nashville, TNNo redistricting with out a vote.
I do not support the redistricting of TN right now. That should happen on the schedule or be voted on by the people. It's undemocratic.
From a constituent in Brownsville, TNVote No on $1 Billion Ballroom Security Funding
Vote no on the $1 billion ballroom security provision in the Republican reconciliation bill when it reaches the Senate floor this month.

From a constituent in Chattanooga, TNStrengthening Election Integrity with Evidence-Based Policy

From a verified voter in Gallatin, TNStop political gerrymandering
Gerrymandering undermines our democracy. This special session does nothing to fairly represent Tennessee voters. Instead it further chips away at the very base of our democratic process. Allowing political parties to nominate candidates rather than voters selecting in the primaries. Eliminating re

From a verified voter in Nashville, TNStop the redistricting
Your proposed redistricting is nothing more than Jim Crow, and you know that. Stop pretending this is about “the will of the voters” and call it what it is — your own deranged drive for power and fealty to a demented president. What you’re doing is NOT democracy. You should be ashamed of yourself an
