We were at the Darden Copeland town hall in Gallatin this evening. A full house -they had to bring out more chairs. And he took questions from the crowd, unlike some politicians we could mention. And we spoke to his team about getting him on the show ASAP. Stand by for more. https://www.dardenforcongress.com

We felt a disturbance in the force, now we know why.

Marsha Blackburn is in Gallatin today at Vol State Community College. We went out and sat near the entrance of the building waiting to see if she’d talk to the public - nope. Her and her assorted group of photo op guests stood in public just long enough to take their photo before walking back inside.

No public interaction at all.

October 14th is when early voting starts. It’s time to elect Jerri Green, so Tennessee can finally have real leadership.

Just a reminder as Election Day nears.
