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. President Trump promised repeatedly that his 90,000 square-foot White House ballroom would cost taxpayers nothing. He said "not one penny is being used from the fe
From a constituent in Chattanooga, TNA Practical Bipartisan Approach to Reducing the National Debt
I am writing as a constituent to express concern about the growing federal debt and to encourage support for a realistic, bipartisan approach to addressing it. Sustainable debt reduction will require shared responsibility and a willingness from both parties to engage in good-faith compromise. Rathe
From a constituent in Chattanooga, TNStrengthening Election Integrity with Evidence-Based Policy
I am writing as a constituent to express my support for strong election integrity—and my concern that current debates are too often shaped by misinformation rather than evidence. Free and fair elections depend on public trust. However, repeated claims of widespread voter fraud or noncitizen voting
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 constituent in Chattanooga, TNImmigration Reform
I am writing to urge you to support a comprehensive, pragmatic approach to immigration reform—one that restores order to our system, strengthens our economy, and reflects both the rule of law and our national values. For too long, immigration policy has been addressed in fragmented, reactive ways.
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
From a constituent in Chattanooga, TNAbout the Proposed Redistricting
I'm writing to implore you NOT to support redrawing TN congressional districts. First, as you know, TN law currently prohibits redrawing districts between apportionments, which is supposed to happen after the 10-year census. That law should not been ended. Second, if the legislature redraws the dist
From a constituent in Nashville, TNI'm writing to urge Sen. Blackburn and Sen. Hagerty to oppose H.R. 7567, the Farm Bill, unless the legislation is amended to allow USDA funding for solar panels and help farmers to access affordable renewable energy, reverse devastating SNAP funding cuts and administrative requirements, and remove t
From a constituent in Memphis, TNDo not further gerrymander TN. Thank you.
Do not gerrymander the Memphis area! History is never kind to bootlickers.
From a constituent in Knoxville, TNDon't Redistrict, Don't Gerrymander
I am a constituent writing to urge you to oppose gerrymandering in Tennessee. Redistricting now to try to win an extra seat is wrong. It sends the message that cheating in politics is okay. The map is already heavily gerrymandered. Degrading ourselves further to try to squeeze out one more seat is m
From a verified voter in Crossville, TNJIM CROW IS ALIVE AND WELL IN TENNESSEE! THE STATE THAT BROUGHT US THE KKK WANTS TO ELMINATE THE ONLY BLACK CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT!!! SHAME ON ALL OF YOU! A BUNCH OF RACIST BASTARDS THAT BEND OVER FOR THE ORANGE ASS!!!
From a constituent in Smyrna, TNVote no on redistricting
I am writing out of concern for the obvious power grab being conducted by the governor and legislature. Our constitution requires redistricting one every ten years. However, the governor and and others, want to take representation away from anyone who doesn’t agree with them with their special sessi
From a constituent in Nashville, TNI'm writing to demand Rep. Rose, Sen. Blackburn, and Sen. Hagerty oppose any bill that includes federal funding for Trump’s ballroom and other unnecessary vanity projects. The ballroom would not improve the security or wellbeing of the American public, and funding would be better used to support gov
From a constituent in Brownsville, TNStop the Revenge Theatrics and Focus on Real Work
Stop wasting time on revenge theatrics and do your job. I didn't elect you to settle scores or chase political vendettas. I elected you to address the real problems facing our community. While you're focused on payback politics, my family is dealing with rising costs, crumbling infrastructure, and
From a verified voter in Memphis, TNTennessee is at a crossroads. Redistricting threatens to silence communities-especially in Memphis, one of the largest Black-majority cities in America. When lines are drawn unfairly, voices are diluted, and representation is lost. This isn’t just politics- it’s about power, fairness, and the fu
From a constituent in Memphis, TNOppose the Gerrymandering of District 9. Stop the Power Grab.
Dear Governor Lee and Members of the Tennessee General Assembly, Call this what it is: you are attempting to erase Black political representation from Congress because the President told you to. That is not an accusation. It is the documented record. Sen. Marsha Blackburn did not hide it. She posted
From a constituent in Bartlett, TNGerrymandering TN9 at Trump’s behest would be a mistake. TN9 is simply West TN. It’s majority Black because that’s who lives there. Splitting it up leaves urban West TN with no real representation at the National level, and also dilutes the representation for rural and suburban West TN because it cr
From a constituent in Memphis, TNMemphis representation
Our country was founded upon the phrase "no taxation without representation." Now our state government is trying to remove representation from constituen ts in Memphis. This is illegal and immoral. It is also very disappointing that our leaders don't have time to allocate more money to help working
From a constituent in Chattanooga, TNNo special session
Do not call a special session to redraw Tennessee's congressional map. The proposed redistricting would eliminate Memphis's representation in Congress by splitting District 9 into multiple Republican-majority districts, silencing hundreds of thousands of voters. This isn't about fair representati
From a constituent in Brownsville, TNBlock Further Troop Withdrawals From Europe
Congress must act immediately to prevent further withdrawals of U.S. troops from Germany and Europe. President Trump has already announced plans to pull 5,000 troops from Germany and stated he intends to "cut way down" beyond that number. This reckless decision weakens our national security and aban
From a verified voter in Rockvale, TNOppose Special Session to Redraw Tennessee's Congressional Map
Do not call a special session to redraw Tennessee's congressional map. The proposed redistricting would eliminate Memphis's representation in Congress by splitting District 9 into multiple Republican-majority districts, silencing hundreds of thousands of Democratic voters. This isn't about fair rep
From a verified voter in Crossville, TNI am writing about the special session that was just called to redistrict our one and only Democratic house district out of existence.
