We. The. People. It's not just in the Constitution. An economy that works for everybody. Communities where we celebrate diversity. Justice for all. We will not bow. We will not break. That's what's at stake. That's what we're fighting for. #wethepeople #tn47 #constitutionday #standupfightback

Caught up with Jerri Green last weekend. Billionaires control our politics on every side. We've got to hold people accountable. Jerri's fighting to fund schools, make daycare affordable, and stop the authoritarian takeover. People power means voting and getting your family registered too.

Met Dolly at the Coffee County Imagination Library pancake breakfast yesterday (well, a cardboard version). Her real legacy: making sure every kid can read, no matter their family's money. That's people power. We need more of that.

September 11th, we remember what we lost. September 12th, we remember who we are. It didn't matter if you were a Democrat or a Republican. Americans put People Over Politics. That spirit has guided 23 years of teaching. It's guiding my commitment to Coffee and Grundy Counties. #Togetherness

I met Larry tonight at the Coffee County Fair, and a grumpy old vet is exactly the kind of honest person that I love talking to. People Over Politics means showing up, listening, and remembering that we’ve got more in common than what keeps us apart. #CoffeeCountyFair #PeopleFirst

As a teacher, I know firsthand how this impacts working people. We can make life more affordable. But first, we have to prioritize the needs of working people. That’s what I’ll do when I’m elected this November. It’s ⏱️to put #PeopleOverPolitics. #PeopleFirst #peoplematter #HD47 #WeDeserveBetter

Healthcare shouldn’t be a privilege. I got the care I need today because I’m fortunate to have insurance, but I met a homeless woman last week who refused the ER because of medical bills. That’s not right. Everyone deserves care. #HealthcareIsARight #HD47 #TennesseeDeservesBetter #PeopleMatter

Yesterday I helped cook and serve 200 home-cooked meals to homeless neighbors in our community. Five different dishes, real work, no speeches. This is what People Over Politics means — showing up because it’s right, not because it looks good. Food should never be a luxury.

I was up late last night prepping jambalaya for 40 of our homeless neighbors today. Grocery costs are crushing people living on the edge. I’m fighting to remove the sales tax on groceries in Tennessee — not as a campaign talking point, but because it’s right. People over politics. Always.

Just finished grocery shopping, still paying TN’s grocery tax on everything. Lawmakers had 3 bills to eliminate it this year. Final budget passed with zero relief. TN is one of only 10 taxing groceries. This isn’t partisan, it’s fairness. #GroceryTax #TN47 #MikeForTN47 #PeopleOverPolitics

TN is dead last in teacher retention and 50th in per-pupil spending. Paraeducators working with special ed students often earn less than $25,000 a year — then get pulled to cover sub shortages, leaving vulnerable kids without support. Vouchers drain the money that could fix this. mikefortn47.com
