Less than 48 hours until Gov. Lee allows Tennessee families to go hungry. We continue to call on the governor to convene a special session to feed our neighbors.
THREE days left until SNAP funding runs out. Meanwhile, Gov. Lee sits idly by as Tennessee families face empty pantries. Reminder- House Dems have called on the governor to call a special session to address this vital funding.
A majority of states have taken formal steps to protect vital SNAP benefits which are set to run out on Nov 1st due to the federal gov shutdown. Meanwhile, Gov. Lee currently has no plan to protect over 690,000 Tennesseans who rely on the program to help put food on their tables.
Gov. Lee has allowed another day to pass without helping Tennessee families. There are only FOUR more days until SNAP benefits run out. House Democrats are continuing to call on Gov. Lee to call a special session to address SNAP and other vital aid.
690,000 Tennesseans going hungry is unacceptable. Today our caucus asked Gov. Bill Lee to call a special session to address SNAP funding and other vital aid. Read the release on our Substack:

Today House Democrats are pausing to recognize and celebrate the invaluable contributions that Indigenous peoples have had and continue to have on our country.
If you live in CD7, get out and vote in today’s primary!
Republicans are causing OUR children to go to bed hungry.
Your Monday morning reminder that Tennessee farmers are suffering as a direct result of Trump and Republican recklessness and their disastrous tariffs.
“Tennessee soybean farmers a facing a farm economy that resembles ‘death by a thousand cuts’…” and it’s a direct result of Donald Trump and his disastrous tariffs.
Tennessee farmers have been FAILED by Donald Trump and TN Republicans in DC.
Today we remember and honor the 2,977 lives lost on September 11th, 2001. We will never forget.
If we could get the Republicans running our state into the ground to care as much about families as guns, we’d all be better off.
The affordability of firearms is not an issue facing TN families.
You know what is?
The affordability of groceries, housing, healthcare and prescription drugs.
You know…the necessities.
