Wonder why you're voting on Thursday instead of today? There isn't a real reason. We should be making it easier for Tennesseans to vote, not confusing them with different election days.

If you engage early enough, before these groups really get their claws in the kid, you can help stop that manipulation and get the kid out of that rabbit hole.

Across Tennessee, working folks are ready for a fighter for them. You've got til this Saturday, August 1st, to vote early. All gas, no brakes.

Honored to earn the endorsement of the Tennessee Young Dems! Young folks are the ones living out what happens when hard work stops being enough, and they're not waiting around for someone else to fix it.

Companies are using your personal search history to charge you more for a product than they're charging somebody else. That's AI price gouging. Plain and simple.

By educating families and recognizing the warning signs, we can intervene before a child gets hurt, not after.

Mike Cortese @mikefortennessee.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

Proud to earn the endorsement of SEIU Local 205. From the Metro workers keeping our city departments running, to the Metro Hospital Authority and NES workers powering our city's care and infrastructure, their members hold Nashville together.

Keep an eye out at 10pm on WSMV! Happy to sit down to discuss my bill to bring together the Mayor's Office, MNPD, and MNPS to educate families, recognize the warning signs of predatory behavior online, and intervene before a child gets hurt not after.

Got the opportunity to stop by Ironworkers Local 492 last week to watch apprentices train. Skilled trades like theirs built Tennessee.

Mike Cortese @mikefortennessee.bsky.social · 04/07/2026

This Fourth of July, we honor the working families who built this nation and recommit ourselves to fighting for an America where hard work is rewarded, opportunity is real, and no one gets left behind. Happy Independence Day.

Mike Cortese @mikefortennessee.bsky.social · 03/07/2026

Proud to earn the endorsement of Insulators Local 86. Doing the often invisible work of keeping your home's pipes from freezing in the winter and your workplace running safely year-round, skilled trades like theirs keep our communities running.

Mike Cortese @mikefortennessee.bsky.social · 30/06/2026

Proud to earn the endorsement of Pipefitters and Plumbers Local 572. From your home's water heater to the oxygen pipes flowing through hospital walls, skilled trades like theirs built America. The stronger our skilled trades, the stronger our communities, and the stronger our country.

Had the privilege to join the Grundy County Dems for their monthly meeting last night! From Monteagle to Beersheba Springs, there's momentum to send a real fighter to Washington for working-class Tennesseans.

Rent-seeking behavior [noun] When a company uses their resources to manipulate the system to extract wealth without creating any new value for society Consumers deserve transparency.

Humbled to earn the support of the Davidson County Young Dems! I'm fighting tooth and nail to build an economy where hard work means something again, for our kids, for our young folks, and for the people doing everything right but still falling behind.

Mike Cortese @mikefortennessee.bsky.social · 22/06/2026

From Rutherford County down to Franklin County and back up to Manchester in Coffee County this weekend, one thing was clear in every conversation I had: When we fight for each other instead of against each other, working people are unstoppable.

Mike Cortese @mikefortennessee.bsky.social · 21/06/2026

We went through a lot when I was growing up. The older I get, and now that I'm a father, I realize how much my dad carried without ever letting it break him. He taught me to never back down, to fight for every inch when it matters, and to treat people with dignity and respect.

Bledsoe, Rutherford, and back down to Sequatchie. Every conversation proves one thing: Tennessee is ready for fighters again. All gas, no brakes.

Mike Cortese @mikefortennessee.bsky.social · 07/06/2026

Team Mike, assemble! We're hitting the doors and building a movement that puts working people ahead of special interests. Let's go win this thing! Full speed or nothin'.

Honored to be endorsed by the Building Trades and proud to stand with the people who build this country. We need more pathways into the skilled trades. Working families deserve leaders who fight for them, not career politicians like Scott DesJarlais who turn their backs on them.

Mike Cortese @mikefortennessee.bsky.social · 23/05/2026

Get your Mike for Tennessee gear and send a message: When working people stand together, nothing can stop us.

I'm proud of the great work Nashville General Hospital does in our community every day! Places like this are why we need to make healthcare a focus in our government.

Hometowns over Headlines means all of our hometowns. It was great to be in Old Hickory!

Everyone in and around a city should benefit from its growth, not just its downtown core.

Loved the Wilson Co Let’s Keep It Country Bi-partisan Rally! I don’t care what letter is next to your name, I care about you. I’m gonna fight tooth and nail against anybody who tries to make life harder for my neighbors in middle Tennessee.

What a great night with great friends! This campaign doesn't slow down, and it doesn't stop. #hometownsoverheadlines

Big shout out to Stand Up Nashville for advocating for our community and having me at The Housing Party yesterday! Making housing affordable again is one of my top priorities. We should all be able to live in dignity, affordably.

No surprise here. Andy Ogles isn't just a distraction queen, he's also one of the most corrupt politicians in Congress.

Mike Cortese @mikefortennessee.bsky.social · 08/04/2026

No one should ever feel unsafe in their own community. It’s a high standard, especially in a world where some choose harm, but it’s one worth fighting for. I’m grateful to play even a small role in helping us move closer to that goal.

Happy Easter from our family to yours.

Made some new friends in Marshall Co, and the message is clear: People are fed up with being overlooked and talked down to. We’re not doing this from behind a desk in DC or a donor list. We’re out here listening to the people who actually make this district work.
