🚨 15 DAYS UNTIL TN-7 SPECIAL ELECTION! 🚨 Election Calendar, Activists' Lists, and Donation Links

(Please let me know if there are any broken links or incorrect or incomplete information. I’ll be adding and correcting information through Election Day.)

Early voting is going on NOW in Tennessee’s 7th District, so go vote if you’re in that district!

Note – if you do anything by mail, be sure to mail things in WELL IN ADVANCE. I personally would recommend at least 10 days, especially for submitting absentee ballots. Remember, we’re still dealing with DeJoy’s postal system! (DeJoy himself might be gone, but his postal complex is still in place.)

A caveat: ActBlue keeps a small percentage of your donation. So if you want a candidate or entity to have all of your donation, write a check to the candidate directly.
