Dear Friend,
This morning I made public my decision not to run in any of the three gerrymandered congressional districts carved out of the 9th District I have represented for more than 19 years. The state General Assembly last week diluted the Black vote in thirds to make Republican victories likely. Cases are pending that could restore the 9th District to its current contours until 2028 and, if we prevail, I will remain a candidate in the 9th, but that appears unlikely.
Dear Friend,
Dear Friend,
This week, I want to bring just one dire and dangerous issue to your attention. It’s the worst development affecting our 9th Congressional District in decades. The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday struck down the remaining protections for Black voters in the historic 1965 Voting Rights Act, potentially diluting the Black vote in Tennessee to the point of irrelevance. This has been the goal of President Trump and extremist Republicans for decades: silencing Black voices and stifling Black influence where it matters most.
