A must-read: ‘Nashville's political future could be in jeopardy by gerrymandered congressional districts’ tennessean.com/story/opinion…

TN-5 —- @repjimcooper wastes no time endorsing Senator Heidi Campbell over far right extremist Andy Ogles as his replacement👇🏽

🚨 ENDORSEMENT ALERT 🚨
Congressman Jim Cooper endorses Sen. Heidi Campbell for Congress!
“Heidi Campbell is the best choice for Congress this fall. She's a mom and a mayor and, best of all, she's got common sense just like you and me… She will make us proud.”

Between overturning #Roe, an extreme #AbortionBan and my opponent Rep. Markwayne Mullin voting against birth control... we are at a crossroads. We all need to fight this extremism. Help us keep our first ad on the air 👉KendraHorn.com/FightBack

The maps passed by Tennessee Republicans are absurd. By carving up Nashville they make it nearly impossible for voters to fairly elect representatives of their choosing—their standard attempt to deliver illegitimate political power to the Republican Party for the next decade.

Someone shared this on Reddit so now I’m ready to print a sign and show up to a protest. @tndp & @nashvilledems, you just let us know when and where.

“What Republicans could not win in local elections, they are stealing through gerrymandering.” ~ @repjimcooper
Read Kent Syler’s latest in @Tennessean:
“Why Republicans may wind up losing congressional seats if they split up Nashville”

Here’s another way to visualize how far Nashville’s congressmen will have to travel to visit us!
But I’m sure they will pop on over ALL of the time to attend our community meetings & celebrations.
I’m sure they will turn out to honor our heroes & console those in mourning.

A more disingenuous statement has never been made.
“You have elections so elections are the ones who decide whether people win or lose. A map has never made anybody lose,” Speaker Sexton said.

Gerrymandering Nashville is an insult to all Nashvillians and likely to backfire on the Republican Party. It’s not conservative to split a county that’s been whole for 240 years.
To nobody’s surprise, @CSexton25 & the @TNGOP will try to draw out the seat @repjimcooper holds and break it into pieces, taking a voice away from (very blue) Nashville.
There is zero good faith reason not to have independent, fair districting.

The State Legislature should stay true to its claims of conducting a truly transparent and bipartisan process.

I'm humbled and honored to receive Planned Parenthood's endorsement. Reproductive rights are under attack like never before. I will continue doing everything I can to protect women’s rights.
The Bipartisan Infrastructure Law is just the beginning. Democrats are going to keep delivering on the promises we made.
Letting the Child Tax Credit expire is unconscionable. This program is helping thousands of Tennessee families keep food on the table and a roof over their heads. #BuildBackBetter
