If you’re in TN-7, go vote! Polls close at 7 PM CST/8 EST, so there’s still time! Make your voice heard & help ensure your community is being represented, not corporate megadonors.

If not, help #GetOutTheVote by sharing on social media and participating in a phonebank!
I’m endorsing Aftyn Behn for US Congress, because of her track record of standing up for her community against ICE & against powerful pedophiles.

We have a real shot in the Tennessee 7th Special Election to get a congresswoman that represents Working Families in a Trump +22 District.
