Seeing what you know is right and true become contagious, even slowly yet surely...

Jay Greene? Quality and Integrity?
The Secretary of Education just appointed five new members to the powerful National Advisory Committee on Institutional Quality and Integrity (NACIQI)--the organization that approves accreditors. Expect NACIQI to play a major role over the next several years.

So the LPTN seems to be backing Independent Jon Thorpe.
And from what I can gather, if Jody Barrett won the primary they would have gone in with the GOP but since it's Van Epps they're trying to peal off votes.
Interesting if it works out. Better for Behn.

I talked to Aftyn Behn, who's making a race of a U.S. House seat in and around Nashville that Trump won by 22 points.
Her big proposed bill in the state legislature would have ended grocery taxes in Tennessee and paid for it by stopping corporate tax avoidance. Perfect for the political moment.

Aftyn Behn: Running for Congress in deep red Tennessee
Aftyn Behn is trying to flip a seat Donald Trump won by 22 points in a December special election. Grocery bills and corporate taxes dominate.

Went to Costco and definitely saw Jim Cooper there. Then Aldis and 90% Demetria Kalidimos. But it was quick and I didn’t see them again so I could be wrong.
But then I went to Publix for fresh herbs and if I saw another local public figure I was buying a lottery ticket.
