Marquita Bradshaw. It was my honor to vote for her but, of course, she will lose by 40 points.

Tennessee is my home but I am just embarrassed that this is such a place of extreme righties.

I listened in on his conference call the other day — very poised, and responsive & empathetic to citizens. I hope he’s my Senator soon, along with Rev. Warnock. The current loathsome twosome of Georgia senators make me sick.

Georgia's version of AOC. That's if we can just get through this election!

I saw the previous debate, and he kicked ass for that too.

Also, I love that part of his platform is banning senators from trading stocks. I agree with that 100%.
