for U.S. Senate in Tennessee. I hope you’ll take a moment to read her
message and if you can, consider supporting her today. --Katie Porter

teacher, a Tennessee state legislator, and a proud member of the Tennessee
Three. Now, I'm running for U.S. Senate. I need your support in this
fight—contribute any amount right now to become a Founding Donor by

I’m 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 couldn’t 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 don’t give a damn about us.
They don’t 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 – the people are on our side, and they are
standing up to demand action and make the change we need. There’s a
movement afoot in Tennessee.

I’m standing tall to take on Senator Marsha Blackburn now because
Tennessee deserves better. Period.

Marsha has failed us in her five years in office. She’s voted against
everything from pandemic relief to ensuring equal pay for women. She’s
supported tax breaks for corporations while opposing laws to keep
life-saving drug prices down. She’s a danger to reproductive rights, cruel
to LGBTQ+ folks, and she refuses to fight for our right to vote.

She’s 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 it’s not us. She’s
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. It’s time we do something
about it.
