From a constituent in Nashville, TNSave Rafah!
Israel is about to launch a genocidal attack on Rafah, the last “safe” zone in Gaza. What action will you take to prevent the murder of thousands of men, women, and children?

From a constituent in Signal Mountain, TNSpeaking out against Israel is not Antisemitism. Ceasefire now!

I spent 35 years teaching in TN public schools. There are sooo many, many reasons that arming teacher/school employees is a bad idea. I am horrified and saddened that this bill has gotten this far. I am writing to implore Governor Lee to please refrain from signing HB1202/SB1325.

From a verified voter in Gallatin, TNDo not pass guns for teachers in schools

From a verified voter in Germantown, TNVote NO on Vouchers
I see that that you are going to try to force school vouchers through by amendment, avoiding the House Finance Committee. This disgusts me.

From a constituent in Vonore, TNSchool vouchers
