TENNESSEE GOVERNOR: JERRI GREEN

TIRRC Votes endorses Jerri Green in the race for Tennessee Governor. She is a fierce advocate for our communities that will meet the real needs of working class families! Jerri is also motivated to fully-fund public schools in our neighborhoods and expand healthcare access across the state.

Throughout her career as a lawyer, a city council member, and a local advocate, Jerri Green has continued to show her commitment to working families, prioritizing the real needs of our families by fully funding public education and expanding healthcare. Jerri lives out her values as an advocate, lawyer, councilwoman, and mom, which is why we are so proud to endorse her to be the next governor of Tennessee.

Throughout her campaign, Jerri Green has shown her dedication to protecting and uplifting every Tennessean by committing to: 

  • Fully funding our public schools and expanding healthcare across the state 

  • Ending 287g requirement that forces Tennessee sheriffs to collaborate with ICE

  • Investing in policies that prioritize clean air and water instead of the expansion of data centers 

 
 

TN HOUSE DISTRICT 75: ALLIE PHILLIPS

TIRRC Votes is proud to endorse Allie Phillips in House District 75. Allie Phillips has proven to be an outspoken and clear advocate for working families as a mom and a former small business owner herself.

Allie has shown she truly cares about her district by stepping up to run for House District 75 once again, by continuing to prioritize making housing, gas, and groceries more affordable, and ensuring that local resources are being used to strengthen our neighborhoods instead of creating fear within Black, brown, and immigrant communities.

For two election cycles in a row Allie has shown her commitment to working families by prioritizing:

  • The expansion of housing options while cracking down on out-of-state investors and corporations buying up homes and driving up prices

  • Lowering household costs and investing in our local public schools 

  • Safe and healthy neighborhoods for everyone regardless of the color of their skin or where they were born

 
 

TN HOUSE DISTRICT 97: JESSE HUSETH

TIRRC Votes is proud to endorse Jesse Huseth for House District 97. Huseth is the clear choice for House District 97 as a second-time candidate.

As a lifelong Memphian, father, former public school teacher, and small business owner, Jesse is embedded in the community and truly listens to the needs of his neighbors. He believes in ending the federal occupation of the city and will work to end the dangerous and harmful collaboration between local law enforcement and ICE. Jesse brings people together instead of using political games and tactics that seek to divide us from each other.

Jesse was a clear choice to endorse again because he has shown his values match those in our community by: 

  • Committing to ensuring that every child has access to a high-quality public education

  • Opposing 287(G) agreements that target immigrant communities and calling for ICE out in Memphis 

  • Doubling down on listening to the needs of the residents in District 97 instead of playing political games
