Mental health is an issue that is deeply personal for me because my father was a psychiatrist. He taught me that taking care of your mental health should never be something to hide or feel ashamed of. Let’s continue building communities where asking for help is met with compassion and support.

Earlier today, I was recognized for my lifetime of public service by the Black Chamber of Memphis at its “Building Wealth in Our Community Symposium.” I am particularly proud of the work I have done to strengthen the local economy and its Black businesses.

Twenty-five years ago today, our nation changed forever. Today, we remember the thousands who perished and honor the survivors, first responders, servicemembers, and families whose lives were forever changed. We will never forget the courage and sacrifice of those who answered the call.

We don’t need the National Guard in Memphis. We don’t need ICE in Memphis. We need rational law enforcement and rational immigration policy. We don’t have it.

The 19th Amendment was won by generations of women who refused to give up. Now the GOP's SAVE America Act threatens to take that fight backward. The right to vote is one of our most sacred rights, and I have worked tirelessly as your Rep. to make certain that this right is protected for everyone.

Social Security has helped Americans retire with dignity for generations — but Republicans are trying to gut it. As we mark the anniversary of the Social Security Act, I will keep fighting to protect the benefits you earned.

I can’t think of an individual more deserving to rename the Memphis Airport after than Fred Smith, and I was proud to be a part of the celebration. His dedication to the city of Memphis and the legacy he built will be remembered for generations through the Frederick W. Smith International Airport.

Lifting export restrictions on an advanced microchip for China to buy doesn't seem very "America first" to me. Trump is aiding our adversaries and threatening our national security.

Freedom is worth celebrating, protecting, and fighting for. I was proud to introduce and pass the first Congressional apology for slavery and Jim Crow discrimination in 2008. While today we remember our history and the promise we’ve made, we must also heed the call to continue the work.

Last Monday was a great day for South City as we celebrated the ribbon cutting of the South City Early Education Center—a new anchor tenant of the Porter Jr. High redevelopment. This transformation was made partly possible with $3M in FY23 Community Project funding and the hard work of all involved.

I joined colleagues in calling on the President to commute the sentences of people serving non-violent marijuana sentences. Too many lives have been derailed by outdated laws that no longer reflect our nation’s views— nearly 9 in 10 Americans support some form of legal marijuana.

Memphis has always been at the center of the fight for civil rights, and this is no different. Overturning the Voting Rights Act takes away from everything Dr. King bled and died fighting for. Alito, Thomas, and Roberts must be impeached.

With the new TN districts broken up 29%, 29%, and 32% Black the only thing not adding up here is the GOP’s claim this new map “isn’t about race”. I’m no mathematician, but if you see a pattern, assume it’s telling you something. Numbers don’t lie— people do.

After 19 years serving the 9th District, I made the decision to not run in the new gerrymandered districts created from it. If the courts restore the current 9th until 2028, I’ll remain a candidate, though that’s unlikely. Representing Memphis for 47 years has been the honor of my lifetime.

John Roberts says the SCOTUS isn't political, then scurries to service the GOP when they can't win on their own merit. What did the SCOTUS do when Trump got nervous after VA? They JUMPED INTO ACTION to gut the VRA and steal the voice of an entire city. They're the political arm of the White House.

The TN GOP is willing to strip away voting rights that people died for—and to deny the second largest city in their own state effective representation in Congress for decades to come—just to try and help Trump avoid Democratic oversight for another 2 years. Memphis isn't going down without a fight.

Proud to stand up for Memphis in the TN State Legislature today alongside State Senators Raumesh Akbari, London Lamar & the legendary Stacey Abrams of Georgia. The TN GOP wants to sacrifice our voice and our city’s future just for Trump to hold onto power for 2 more years. Not without a fight.

Gov. Bill Lee has touted the new $400+ Million King's Crossing Bridge for years. As TN's only Democratic Congressman, Gov. Lee and the TN GOP came to ME to lobby the Biden Admin. for that funding—great for Memphis & the state. Their new maps would ensure they'd never get that help in the future.

The corruption, the grift, the mass deportations — Trump and the GOP know it's all coming to an end in November. Unless they can rig the game beforehand. That's what this is all about. They want to re-draw the maps to silence voices they don't like hearing. Memphis isn't going without a fight.

The Supreme Court is stripping away the representation that Black Americans fought and died for to help Trump hold onto power in the midterms—drawing new maps to silence voices they don’t like hearing. They know exactly what they’re doing. I'm going to stand and fight for #Memphis.

Trump’s Jim Crow Supreme Court gutted the Voting Rights Act—and within hours the GOP was targeting Memphis. They want to redraw the lines, erase Black voting power, and hold onto power any way they can. I’m not letting that happen without a fight. Join us today at the National Civil Rights Museum.

Trump and the GOP know they can't win on the merits. So they're emasculating the Voting Rights Act, changing the maps, and trying to take representation and power away from Black Americans to keep their majority. That's what this is all about. It's Jim Crow redistricting. We're going to fight it.

Trump and the GOP are coming for the power of Black voters in Memphis. They emasculated the VRA—now Trump needs to finish the job by November to save his majority in Congress. I'm not backing down. My team and I are already in touch with experienced voting rights attorneys to try and stop this.
