Allowing 17 year olds to preregister is a great benefit that Tennessee offers, so spread the word. Check with the young people you know and make sure they get the word. Turn 17? Pre-register to vote. No risk of missing out on voting, because of voter registration deadlines. Get it done early. Snap.

Our plan does not include allowing intimidation, criminal activity or ignoring congress by those in power. Our plan is to put people on the ballot who are qualified, ethical and not out to cheat their constituents, but to serve them while in office. Sounds refreshing. Vote for that. #Democrats2026
