House Dems have four key districts to defend this cycle. Republicans have been after these four seats for years and this year isn’t any different. How can you help us? Volunteer with the campaigns to contact voters, donate money, and share their social media posts to amplify their message.

TLDR: Bill Lee ranks among the highest paid governors while Tennessee families are barely scraping by. But we expect nothing less out of Let ‘Em Suffer Lee
tennessean.com
How does TN Gov. Lee rank in gov pay? What about among Republicans?
Only four other governors in the U.S. — all Democrats — take home higher state paychecks than Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee.

Weak. Spineless. Shameful. Immoral. We wish we could say we’re surprised, but Gov Bill Lee has spent 8 years scamming Tennesseans and using special sessions as a way to avoid the democratic process. His final act as Governor? Rigging an election because the DC elite told him to.

“I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith” 2 Timothy 4:7. Our caucus is in deep mourning for the loss of Rep. G.A. Hardaway. Tennessee is a better state because of his tireless work. He will be profoundly missed. We send our love and condolences to his family.

Chair @jrclemmons.bsky.social bringing a moment of humanity to the House Floor as Republicans continue to push through their harmful, discriminatory Stephen Miller agenda in the final days of session.

And when you ask the Republicans “why” or for data supporting their bill they can’t answer and they hide behind “renewing their motion.” Disappointing and deplorable.

🚨‼️SCAM ALERT🚨‼️ In the final days of session Republicans are attempting to sneak through UNLIMITED vouchers with NO accountability. This will kill our public schools, hurt our teachers, and bankrupt the state. Call your Rep NOW and tell them to vote NO on HB1881.

As we move toward adjournment we see more waste of time legislation and nothing addressing the cost of living or improving the lives of Tennesseans. It’s time to put the needs folks in living rooms above the wants of people in boardrooms. HB1514

In the past week gas has increased by .30¢. In the last month its increased by $1.09. Today House Democrats called for a gas tax holiday to be added to the budget. Instead of doubling Lee’s voucher program, the money for that scam can be used for at least 2 months of gas tax relief for Tennesseans

While House Dems are focused on lowering the $$ of groceries different ways- Republicans are proposing a bill to increase the tax to 7%- nearly double what it is now. The GOP continue to bend to the will of billionaires and corporations and Tennessee families are paying the price

TN House Democrats @tndemocrats.bsky.social · 17/03/2026
We’ve been saying for years that Lee’s voucher scam is welfare for the wealthy- and now Republicans are saying the quiet part out loud. It was never about “choice” or helping families- it’s always been about subsidizing the rich on the taxpayers dime.

Let children learn. Today at 2pm, HB793 will be on the House floor. Our children and teachers should only be focused on learning at school- not keeping track of immigration statutes. Call your representative and ask them to vote no on HB793.

When Rep. Sam McKenzie asked how many students were already in private school before applying for Lee’s voucher scam, the answer was “don’t know, don’t care.” TN tax payers deserve to know how many wealthy families are sending their kids to private school on the tax payers dime

TN House Democrats @tndemocrats.bsky.social · 03/03/2026
This afternoon Rep. Hakeem presented HB179- a bill to decriminalize abortion in cases that jeopardize the life of the mother, rape, and incest. It failed along party lines.

TN House Democrats @tndemocrats.bsky.social · 03/03/2026
“Pro-life” party unless you’re a woman in TN. TN women already face among the highest maternal mortality rates in the country, and now a bill has been filed to criminalize women who seek abortions. HB570 has the potential to charge these women with murder; a death penalty offense

What does it mean to have volunteer values? It's feeding our children, supporting our teachers, protecting our places of worship, and establishing policies that allow every Tennessee family to put roots down here.

More of the same from Gino Bulso. On the House Floor this morning he’s not addressing roads or schools or the cost of living. Instead he’s creating loopholes to violate the 14th amendment and disregard the marriage protections provided by Obergefell v Hodges.

Rep. Jesse Chism bringing a moment of humanity during debate on the cruelty & unnecessary nature of HB1711. This bill from Elaine Davis seeks to require hospitals & schools to ask EVERYONE to prove their status & to show their papers. Nothing more than a way to prey our most vulnerable communities.

This morning Republicans killed Rep. Sam McKenzie’s to provide transparency to tax payers about how their money is being spent in private schools. Here are his thoughts on why Republicans killed his bill along party lines-

Despite a recent poll showing that 84% of TN support required reporting about how education $$& is spent, the GOP just KILLED Rep. Sam McKenzie’s bill to provide transparency on Lee’s voucher scam. Once again Republicans are playing fast and loose with working families taxes- welfare for the wealthy

TN House Democrats @tndemocrats.bsky.social · 09/02/2026
Republicans are playing fast and loose with the livelihoods of our families. The non-partisan Tax Foundation found that the tariff increases are the LARGEST tax increase on individuals in over 30 years. The Yale Budget Lab estimates that working families will lose $1,700 per household.

State of the State🤝 Groundhog Day 8 years…8 ‘state of the state’ addresses… same empty promises, same misplaced priorities, same lack of concern for TN families, same Bill Lee, same Republicans…

The GOP has had complete control of the state for the past 16 years. They’ve doubled the budget & the only ones to benefit have been CEOs in boardrooms across the US. Meanwhile TN families sit in dining rooms trying figure out how to make ends meet. We know the state of our state

TN Republicans have filed legislation to provide civil immunity to pesticide corporations, leaving our farmers w/o legal remedies in the event of a health diagnosis linked to chemicals found in the pesticide. HB809 was taken off notice today but we suspect it’s far from done

Tennesseans want state government focused on decreasing the cost of living and quality of life issues, but Tennessee Republicans are ignoring the affordability crisis facing families & the budget crisis Republicans have created & opting instead to embrace a discriminatory Stephen Miller D.C. agenda.

TN House Democrats @tndemocrats.bsky.social · 10/01/2026
As opposed to GOP Stephen Miller-led DC agenda, House Dems continue to promote a TN First agenda of affordability & quality of life. Our leaders traveled the state, listened to learn, & continue to act on what the people of TN want & deserve - real leaders solving real problems

Telling TN families that they can save money by not shopping while they're hungry is not a solution to rising grocery costs- but that's the reality of GOP leadership. While Republicans give away billions to out of state corporations, House Dems push to abolish the grocery tax- a real solution
