🚨Mayday Alert for the Swafford family🚨

For the past year and a half, Christina Swafford has faced an ongoing medical journey marked by uncertainty and unanswered questions. She has undergone extensive testing, including an evaluation at Vanderbilt's Undiagnosed Disease Clinic, in the hope of finding a diagnosis. On May 14, 2026, doctors discovered metastatic lesions on her liver. Because the lesions are located between two major arteries, they cannot be surgically removed. Despite numerous tests, physicians have not yet been able to identify the primary source.

As Christina continues to fight this difficult battle, her husband, Gallatin Fire Department firefighter Clayton Swafford, is working two jobs to provide for their family while caring for her. The emotional and financial strain has become overwhelming as they navigate her ongoing treatment and uncertainty, and mounting medical expenses continue to add to the challenges they face each day. Let’s get the Swaffords the assurance and security they need during this challenging time.

Tennessee’s first responders need your support!

Senate Bill 1900 is a critical piece of legislation that strengthens penalties for those who assault firefighters, paramedics, and other emergency personnel while they are on duty. Every day, our members respond to unpredictable, high-risk situations to protect the public. They should never have to face violence without strong protections in place.

This bill is about accountability. It is about safety. And it is about making it clear that Tennessee stands with those who serve on the front lines.

We are calling on all members of the General Assembly to take action and pass SB1900/HB2428.

Protecting first responders should not be a partisan issue. It is a public safety priority. When you protect those who respond to emergencies, you are protecting every community across this state.

Stand with Tennessee’s fire service.
Pass SB1900/HB2428.
