My normally apolitical wife gave what I consider as very sage political advice for me and my fellow colleagues. "Don't these Legislators know that women (and especially moms) hold grudges when they are wronged...........like FOREVER!" #igotthememo

Today in pop-health sub, the committee killed bills to protect Tennessean’s right to an IVF and contraception. Let that sink in and if women aren’t livid already, then you aren’t paying attention.

Best “No” vote I ever cast. Vouchers are the worst public policy idea for education and the data, evidence and stories from voucher states prove that point. This is a case of failed leadership from our Governor and I know we can do better and deserve better for Tennessee.

Curiosity got the best of me and I made a trip to the Legislative Security desk to ask "How many guns have you checked and allowed in this week?" The answer surprised even me. An est. 25-30 firearms were allowed into our building during the first two days(in one entrance).🧵

Not only is the Commissioner of Education not qualified to hold the position per state law, she isn’t even a resident of Tennessee after holding the job for 10 months. We have had enough of her and her voucher scam and called on her to resign immediately.

Democrats are renewing a call for Tennessee Dept. of Education (DoE) Commissioner Lizzette Reynolds to resign. It’s the second time in a 40-day span.

I’ve worked at the Legislature for 20 years and never seen a committee room cleared until today. 😔 Don’t give up and keep showing up!

NOTABLE — they kicked out Covenant School parents as part of this clearing.

The voters of Tennessee’s 59th District have spoken today and I am both humbled and honored to be chosen as their State Representative. I am so proud of the campaign we have run and of the incredible support we have received that propelled us to victory.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, 50% (47 of 95) of Tennessee counties, the largest employer is the Public School System. Any legislator that votes for the #voucherscam isn't just hurting children and schools in their district, but their largest employer too. 🧵

I donated my per diem salary from the Special Session on Public Safety to @voices4saferTN & @RiseAndShineTN. I cannot in any good conscience accept a salary for a week of unproductive disputes, wasted resources, and zero bills that seriously address sensible gun reforms.

Well….it leaves you speechless when someone admits they are in favor of 16 child brides getting pregnant. Here is what really went down!

So the Tenn. Firearms Association own poll shows 62% support Red Flag laws in Tennessee and only 25% oppose. This is the third straight statewide poll showing an overwhelming majority of Tennesseans support these common sense gun reforms. #enoughisenough coefficient.org/tn2a2023/

I had a call with a group who were having second thoughts about holding a convention in Nashville. Thankfully, I was able to explain how we are an inclusive and welcoming community. If you don't think GOP politics of divisiveness isn't hurting the TN brand, then pay attention!
