TN-04 Congressional District nominee Victoria Broderick says she got into politics after realizing that Tennessee is abandoned by a lot of politicians, and she says District 4 deserves better than being treated as an afterthought.

Broderick says DesJarlais' voting record in Congress has hurt the constituents of District 4. "You know you look at the Big Beautiful Bill which is something that he was a big proponent of, big supporter of, that negatively impacts District 4 in a real way because we have district counties in this district where 50% of the children are on Medicaid which is TennCare, and that's not okay. That's not fiscally responsibility because we're supposed to take care of children and seniors who are also going to be affected by these cuts and then if we look at just his track record as with the war in Iran he is uniquely positioned to push back against this, uniquely positioned to say that I'm not okay with this because it's raising fertilizer prices and diesel prices and those are things that negatively affect a rural agricultural district, like district 4.

Education Concerns in TN- Former MNPS Teacher Samira Hardcastle and Sen. Mark Pody

A historic $17.1 billion multi-state settlement addresses Meta's role in exposing young users to serious mental harm and intentionally misleading parents about its safety of Facebook and Instagram.

Tennessee and Colorado coordinated the 47 states + territories and Tennessee led the charge on the investigation.

Tennessee Attorney General Jonathan Skrmetti says he was confident with our state's consumer protection laws and began the trial in the courtroom and negotiations in Davidson County. Skrmetti says," There were a lot of documents showing that they were aware that their product, which was designed to be addictive, was having really bad mental health impact on kids. And there were a lot of representations, a lot of representations that they made publicly that it was a safe product. And so from a consumer protection standpoint, we had evidence that the product was dangerous and that they knew it was dangerous. We had evidence that they were misleading the public about that."

Tennessee will receive $750 million in the settlement and will go directly to Tennessee's new Children's Digital Protection Fund to protect and restore mental health and safety of children. Skrmetti says they are already fighting with TikTok and expect to file more lawsuits in the future with other companies.

Largest Big Tech Settlement in TN- $17.1 Billion Multi-State Settlement with META

Her slogan is "One Tough Mother".  She is a Shelby County Public Defender, Memphis City Council member and a mother of 3.  Democratic nominee Jerri Green explains what motives her to go for the top job in Tennessee.

Green says she got into politics because of the Sandy Hook school shooting. “I looked for a way to give back and I got involved with Mom's Demand and then it kind of grew from there, just being more active, talking to my legislatures and trying to figure out how I could change what I saw as a future I didn't want my children to have. And it became more than just gun legislation.”

Green says she wants to protect her daughters’ rights because they now have fewer rights than her grandmother did. She also says her youngest child is autistic and worries about what she describes as the dismantling of the Department of Education and the loss of protections that ensure every child can attend public school. She says she would fully fund public education instead of directing money toward school vouchers.

During her primary campaign, Green made 150 stops from Memphis to Bristol, visiting small towns and big cities across the state. She says she heard the same concerns everywhere she went: “groceries are too high, gas is too high.” “I'm afraid if I have to go to the hospital, I'll go bankrupt.” “Our schools are crumbling and they're taking money out of it.”

Green says many Republicans have reached out to her because they are dissatisfied with leaders who have been in office for decades. On election night, Marsha Blackburn said “the Democrats are running to destroy our state and our nation.”

Green responded: “I don't think we're the enemy. I don't think the other side is the enemy. If people are looking for something different, then I hope they will come to us because we have just been ranked the most miserable state in the country to live in. And Republicans have had a super majority and a trifecta of the power, the Senate, the House and the Governor's office for decades. So ask yourself, in the last 2 decades, have your grocery prices gone down? Are your schools better? do you feel healthcare is more accessible and affordable? If the answer is "no" then you only have the people who've been in power to blame and it's time for a change. It's time for a check on their power.”
