THURSDAY, Oct 29th, is LAST day for Early Voting!

10/27/2026

This debate will be of interest to all who haven't yet voted! And even those who already have!

Only 17% of registered voters in TN have voted so far.

If you’re part of the 83% who still hasn’t voted, we hope you’ll watch tonight’s debate hosted by MTSU and the Tennessee Press Association.

We wish our (D) nominee Councilwoman Jerri Green the best of luck, and thank (I) candidates Dr. Lauren Pinkston and David Hatley serving Tennesseans with transparency and respect.

Debate is democratic.

There is no excuse for Senator Marsha Blackburn’s absence or unwillingness to participate in tonight’s event. You should not be hired for a job you refuse to interview for and Tennesseans deserve better.

Tuesday, October 27, at 7:00 PM CT / 8:00 PM ET.

Here's a summary of all three Constitutional amendments you will see on your ballot. Reminder, amendments are harder to change than laws should any of these have unintended consequences. Early voting through Oct 29th!
