Tennessee saw historic gains this year because of all of you and the hard work that you put into this race. There is still more work to be done, but for now thank you for your dedication and passion towards moving Tennessee forward.

This is legit how the American People feel right now. Accountability isn’t revenge. It allows for healing and progress. We can address affordability AND hold them accountable for fleecing the American People.
Folks are struggling and we haven’t seen the worst of it yet because all the horrible things go into effect next year.
Keep your foot on their necks folks!

‘Radical’ comes from a Latin word meaning "root."
Because roots are the deepest part of a plant, ‘radical’ came to describe things understood as fundamental or essential.
‘Radical change’ was a change at the root of a system.

One detail from Tuesday that I feel hasn't gotten enough attention — Democrats appear to have ousted Kris Kobach as Kansas Attorney General

I didn’t trash the party. I spoke critically about their divestment from the South and Black Leadership. It’s not rhetoric. It’s what has happened in Florida. It’s what Scott Colom just spoke about today. If we want better we have to do better.

I hope Klobuchar’s gun bill includes harsher penalties for people who carry firearms while drunk.

There is a pattern of moderate voters and donors not backing someone to their left and spending against the nominee instead. Folk’s side was run by the people who regularly do this here in MN, and they’re deeply aligned with Jacob Frey.
ALT Stacked bar chart titled "All of Mpls backed Frey in 2025 and Folk in 2026, and spent against each one's progressive opponent." All of Mpls spending at each race's last report before the election. 2025 Mayor, through Oct. 20: $286,579 for Frey and $130,913 against Fateh, $417,492 in all, 69% for and 31% against. A dashed segment adds $149,241 spent after that report, for $566,733 in all. 2026 County Attorney, through Oct. 19: $321,389 for Folk and $51,238 against Frazier, the DFL-endorsed candidate; $372,627 reported so far, 86% for and 14% against. Later 2026 spending is not yet reported.

I believe Tennessee is worth fighting for. I have always believed that. And I will never stop believing it. This was one battle for the future of our state. It was not the end of the fight.
We have more work to do. More communities to organize. More voices to lift up. More people to bring into this movement.
And to every volunteer, every supporter, every person who donated, knocked a door, made a phone call, hosted a gathering, or simply told a friend why this campaign mattered: thank you.
