So excited to see Blue TN supported nominees out and about across the state! 🤩 Let's gooo! 💙

Blue Tennessee | Every State Blue @everystatebluetn.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

Most of these folks have a hard time fundraising because their districts don't look competitive. But that doesn't mean their districts aren't worth the effort! Every door they knock is a potential voter for them, for Jerri Green, and for every other 💙 on the ballot.

Blue Tennessee | Every State Blue @everystatebluetn.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

We don't typically do one-time donations, but we're making a special exception right now so that we can get these nominees the help they desperately need. Right now more than a dozen candidates have less than $1k. Blue Tennessee is there to help and lift them up, but we can't do this without you!

Blue Tennessee | Every State Blue @everystatebluetn.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

It's our favorite time of the year! Also: we have a deadline! Blue TN funds first the nominees who have the least. So right now we're up to our eyeglasses in campaign finance reports. 🤓 And the folks running in the reddest districts – working hard in the hardest places – NEED your help right now!

Turn your rage into fuel and boost folks who are running hard against some of the most extreme people in the state. 100% of the donations go to the candidates. Simple, effective, super strategic. Game ON. Let's go. 💙

This just happened in the TN House. We've got to do something with this "HELL NO" energy. Maybe you feel the same? So it feels like a good time to introduce you to our crowdfunding page for TN 💙 who are running against some of these folks.

Please help a fund for 8 TN Dems running in state leg races. If we want Dems to fight everything - we have to give them the support to do so.

As an org, we don't get anything from First In Line – except knowing we are helping folks like you make some noise while helping people running hard in the hardest places ... AND making life just a little more miserable for the TN GOP. (Come to think of it, we really do love that last part.) 💙

Blue Tennessee | Every State Blue @everystatebluetn.bsky.social · 06/05/2026

But getting resources to them NOW will help them turn out more voters for their own race and for up-ballot races too. Our project called First In Line that directly funds candidates running in previously uncontested districts, and 100% of the funding goes to the candidates. One click, super simple.

Blue Tennessee | Every State Blue @everystatebluetn.bsky.social · 06/05/2026

There are people running right now in some of the reddest districts in the state – throwing sand in the GOP's gears, holding these extremists accountable, giving people a choice and a voice. They usually don't get much funding because they're not in "flippable" races.

Blue Tennessee | Every State Blue @everystatebluetn.bsky.social · 06/05/2026

Friends, you've probably seen the map. It's awful. It's also an opportunity. We can make them pay dearly for disenfranchising Black voters and underestimating both the people of TN AND the people around the country who care about democracy (and about the people of TN).

He'll buy more yard signs this year, then plans to pick those up again next year, too, and keep adding to his campaign materials over time. See what I mean about Tennesseans? Scrappy. Resourceful. But because of you – not alone. Do you want to help candidates like Daniel buy yard signs in 2026?

100

Blue Tennessee | Every State Blue @everystatebluetn.bsky.social · 15/12/2025

To put that into context, his opponent, Republican incumbent Michael Hale, had $90,617 in his coffers before the general election. At the end of the election, Daniel went back out and picked up 200 of those yard signs, which he plans to use again this year.

Blue Tennessee | Every State Blue @everystatebluetn.bsky.social · 15/12/2025

He also told me that Blue Tennessee's contribution ($1,429 over two disbursements) was the largest donation to his campaign, which he immediately put into yard signs.

Blue Tennessee | Every State Blue @everystatebluetn.bsky.social · 15/12/2025

Daniel Hawthorne is a high school teacher who ran for HD 40. He told me he's going to keep running and keep chipping away at the incumbent's vote count for as long as it takes.

Blue Tennessee | Every State Blue @everystatebluetn.bsky.social · 15/12/2025

Tennesseans are scrappy. We're resourceful. We're going to keep relentlessly doing the work to chip away at our state's supermajority, because we believe we are worth fighting for. Last week, I was lucky enough to sit down with one of the nominees we supported last cycle.

We're looking forward to this insightful discussion. If you're still mulling over Tuesday's election results, I hope you'll join us!

If for no other reason than to not make the GOP happy, I hope you’ll take one thing away from this election: our state is worth fighting for and progress IS progress.

Blue Tennessee | Every State Blue @everystatebluetn.bsky.social · 03/12/2025

Aftyn and her team gained ground in Every. Single. County. Do you know what Republicans are hoping we’ll do? They hope that we’ll let all this momentum – all this energy, all this hope – die.

110

Blue Tennessee | Every State Blue @everystatebluetn.bsky.social · 03/12/2025

I know that last night’s result stings. We all put in a lot of hope and a lot of work, and Aftyn and her team ran a hell of a campaign. Even though the election night result wasn’t what we worked for, this wasn’t a loss. Really. Here’s what I’m looking at this morning:

We're glad you're here with us, because Tennessee shouldn't be taken for granted. It should be invested in as a state that is worthy of time, hope, and resources. If you believe that, too, I hope you'll join us as a monthly sustaining member.

Blue Tennessee | Every State Blue @everystatebluetn.bsky.social · 25/11/2025

We can do this throughout the rest of the state, friends. We can invest in every corner of "ruby-red" Tennessee and make sure that Democratic nominees are supported and that voters have a choice. And that is why we exist.

110

Blue Tennessee | Every State Blue @everystatebluetn.bsky.social · 25/11/2025

The other part of this equation? When you run everywhere AND give Democratic nominees the resources they need to run, the GOP has to spread out their resources. It means they can't just take elections (and voters) for granted.

110

Blue Tennessee | Every State Blue @everystatebluetn.bsky.social · 25/11/2025

TN-07 isn't supposed to be a competitive district. It isn't supposed to be a race that everyone is watching. But IT IS. This is what is possible when you run everywhere and you don't take any district for granted.

The result? She picked up tons of rural voters, which are usually seen as a GOP stronghold. In New Jersey, in addition to Mikie Sherrill's win, they flipped 5 traditionally "safe" Republican seats in their state legislature. How?

Blue Tennessee | Every State Blue @everystatebluetn.bsky.social · 13/11/2025

What do we learn from this? Trump voters are not a "lost cause", especially when we focus on policies that can improve affordability for all. In VA, Spanberger defied traditional logic and invested time campaigning in rural areas and talking about economic issues hurting our rural communities. 2/5

Blue Tennessee | Every State Blue @everystatebluetn.bsky.social · 13/11/2025

Amidst all the chaos, last week's victories already feel like old news - but we shouldn't forget them so quickly! According to CBS polling, 15% of Trump voters turning out in the NYC mayoral race flipped to Mamdani. 1/5

We send reps to Nashville to SERVE Tennesseans, not steal from them. Earlier this week, former state Rep. Robin Smith (R) was sentenced to 8 months in federal prison for "a scheme to steal from Tennessee and its citizens through the General Assembly’s taxpayer-funded constituent mail program."

With the Republican shutdown, the 1 out of 10 Tennesseans that rely on SNAP are going to be really struggling come November. We have a $2 BILLION surplus that could be used to feed hungry Tennesseans that Gov. Lee won't use. Absolutely shameful. www.tennessean.com/story/news/p...

In Tennessee, more than 500,000 low- and moderate-income Tennesseans rely on ACA tax credits for their health coverage. Republicans want to let these credits expire and make insurance more expensive. Democrats don't. THAT'S why the shutdown is happening. tennesseelookout.com/briefs/repor...

Report: An end to ACA tax credits to increase uncompensated care costs in Tenn. by nearly one-third • Tennessee Lookout

Tennessee hospitals may see a 29% increase in uncompensated care costs if Congress lets enhanced health insurance marketplace subsidies to expire.
