If we win, 2026 shifts.
No one thought we would have an opportunity to flip a seat this year.
Not the establishment, not the media, and certainly not the GOP.
But we won our primary with pure grassroots power and showed what’s possible for Democrats in the Deep South.
And now, we’re barreling towards the December 2nd special election here in TN-07, where I’ll be facing off against Trump’s hand-picked candidate.
Republicans are already pouring money into this race to stop us from flipping this seat, and I’m counting on your support to help me fight back. Will you split a contribution between my campaign and Leaders We Deserve today?

I’m an organizer, state rep, and pissed-off social worker running for Congress because we need leadership that meets this moment.
For the past decade, I’ve been at the heart of a long-term political project to take back Tennessee, shoulder to shoulder with fellow organizers, activists, movement lawyers, community groups, and mentors who took the time to teach me what real power-building looks like.
Now, I’m taking this fight national – and this special election could make history. It’s the only red-to-blue special in the country.
If we flip this seat…Republicans lose a vote in the House, and 2026 shifts.
It will take record-breaking support to win this race, but I know we have what it takes. Donate to my campaign and Leaders We Deserve to help us win this race and flip this seat →
Onwards!
