Seeking Office: Governor

Platform:
I believe that the values uniting Tennesseans are more powerful than the politics that seek to divide us. I
know that together, we THRIVE. That means having a more efficient government that works for all people

to help us solve big problems.



No matter your zip code, the color of your skin, or how much money you have in the bank, Tennessee
should be the home of opportunity, the home of safe communities, the home of students who advance in

modern and fully funded schools, the home of commerce that thrives on advanced infrastructure, the
home of a healthy and well-trained workforce, and the home of a nimble, lean and efficient government

that helps people solve problems together.



Common sense should trump political gamesmanship, and Tennessee is the home of the best people in
this country, all of whom are working together to create a better future. Together, Tennessee thrives.

Restoring Rights - Reforming Government

Right of Remonstrance by Address
I am the first Tennessean since the year 1850, to exercise OUR right to remonstrate (protest
unconstitutional conduct of the govt) with a Petition of Remonstrance, properly received and recorded in
journals of both the House & Senate of the Tennessee General Assembly. This right is our most important
right, protected in the Tennessee Constitution, Article I, Section 23. This right belongs to every Citizen and
I am already working hard as a citizen to restore this right to all Tennesseans. You too can exercise this

right.
Proper Form of Government
Our government was formed on the concept of checks and balances, to prevent one branch from
becoming too powerful. Today, there is no check of one branch over the other of our judiciary and judges
in Tennessee routinely violate the right to a fair and impartial court (due process) in bias and sometimes
corruption. I am working hard to restore accountability and proper judicial oversight, as provided for in
our beloved Tennessee Constitution.

Office Seeking: TN House of Representative

District 86

Platform:
Crime - The main purpose/responsibility of government is to protect it's citizens. If you are not safe in
your community, on your streets and in your own home, then government has failed you. We need all

hands on deck to solve this clear and present threat to our safety and prosperity as a people.



Blight - Some of our streets and communities are being used as a dumping ground for discarded tires,
furniture and all sorts of trash and debris. We must confront and strategically attack this growing
nuisance.



Education - Our schools are failing our children, they are being left behind academically and as a result
they are ill prepared for a productive future. An ineffective educational system is one of the drivers for

many of our kids being involved in the schools to jails pipeline. We must tackle this issue for the
immediate and long-term future of our city.

House District 90, in which I get the pleasure to be a voice for, is the only District leaving West Tennessee

later this year due to the census, eliminating a vital voice of leadership. It is my hope that Tennesseans
have seen and felt the dedication I have and trust my track record of fight and love for the people of this

district enough to keep representation for the many different communities that look like me. Let's
continue to Listen, Empower, & Serve.

Dwayne Thompson(D)
Office Seeking: TN House of Representative

District 96

Platform:

EDUCATION
Dwayne has consistently supported legislation to: Provide great job opportunities and training programs after high

school graduation, Support the governor's Re-Connect Act to let non-traditional students attend college or
technical school tuition-free for up to 2 years, Support legislation to end the constant and ineffective testing of
students and allow more classroom learning time, and Support teachers, the first line of learning in our schools.



INFRASTRUCTURE
Our community suffers from a lack of good road and highway infrastructure. We need a voice in Nashville to
secure funding to fix our traffic problems. Dwayne supported the governor's Improve Act to give long-term,
sustainable funding for our State's roads and bridges. He also had the administration approve a project to improve
the traffic congestion on Germantown Parkway at I-40. • He is working to have the State of Tennessee support a
third bridge across the Mississippi River, creating jobs in our area and supporting the business community.
He will work towards more road improvements in the future.



HEALTHCARE
We need to expand the availability of healthcare to as many Tennesseeans as possible by: • Allowing hundreds of
thousands of working people to have affordable healthcare. • Halting the surge of hospital closures.
Bringing our federal tax dollars back to Tennessee rather than sending them to other states. Helping to reduce the
opioid crisis. In addition: Dwayne will support a reasonable bill to allow for physician-prescribed cannabis.
• He will support legislation to ensure that women and children have access to good healthcare.



COMMUNITY PROTECTION
Crime is much too high in our neighborhoods. Dwayne has worked closely with local law enforcement to keep our
neighborhoods safe while working with community organizations to solve the root causes of crime. Dwayne
sponsored and co-sponsored legislation to: Improve access to mental health services statewide. Improve our
juvenile justice system. Require more effective penalties for domestic abusers by requiring counseling and
treatment in addition to fines and jail sentences. Make it easier for former non-violent offenders to get jobs and
become productive citizens, and Support our local law enforcement agencies."

Antonio Parkinson (D)
Office Seeking: TN House of Representative

District 98

Platform:

HEALTH Representative Parkinson is a big believer in improving the health of Tennesseans. That’s why he is
working to expand access to healthcare for all Tennesseans and to increase funding for important health programs

and advancing initiatives that provide the best resources and outcomes that Tennessee offers. He knows that if
people are healthy, they can be more productive and contribute more to their community. While state and local
governments play a major role in providing access, we must also recognize those community initiatives that help us
to leverage opportunities in the best health practices and services available. Whether it’s through our community
health systems or through our faith-based nonprofits, the compassionate people of Tennessee have the shared
goal of bringing awareness, support and all that the state offers to insure low cost access while addressing the

toughest issues that Tennessee communities face.



EDUCATION Representative Parkinson also knows that education has been our greatest problem but is key to
improving the quality of life for Tennesseans. That’s why he is fighting to increase funding for public schools and
making higher education more affordable. He also wants to make sure that every child or adult seeking education
in Tennessee is afforded the best quality education available. This means that all children receive an equitable

education experience. This also means supporting our teaches and education staff in the best professional
development available while ensuring the best pay that they deserve.



ECONOMIC It’s your money! You deserve to keep as much of it as you can to do the things that are important to
you and your family. Representative Parkinson is a big believer in reducing taxes and improving government
efficiency so that taxpayers are not left carrying the burden. This also means making sure that there are good

paying jobs, and the economy is growing at a sustainable pace. Additionally, it is vital that job training is available to
those who need it and that our communities are hubs for businesses to thrive.
