Do these men know how agonizing it is to learn a baby you desperately want isn’t viable? And on top of that agony she’s going through this? They’re putting her life at risk. She has two kids who can’t lose their mom. But it’s about power and control so they don’t care.

I’m not campaigning as some career move. I never wanted to run for office. I’d much rather these “opportunities to campaign” not exist at all. I’m running because our kids are getting killed at school and no one in power is doing a damn thing about it. THAT is what’s distasteful.

I’ve heard my opponent is giving me (and my ad) quite a bit of airtime in his circle. I’m running a campaign centered around compassion, empathy, and protecting our kids. My goal is to unite people, not divide us further. I can see why that scares the supermajority.

All kids deserve to eat. All kids deserve a fully-funded school. Cutting federal funds that are heavily relied upon by students in underserved areas, students w disabilities & rural districts fuels inequity in an already inequitable system and keeps disparities alive. It’s evil.

TW: miscarriage. I’ve had two miscarriages. It’s traumatic enough to bleed out what would have been my child into the toilet, shower, and adult diapers. The physical pain is excruciating. The emotional pain is unbearable. Govt involvement would be the highest level of cruelty.

@AlisonBforTN There is no way to know if a miscarriage was natural or chemically induced, so every single miscarriage will have to be investigated. I can't think of anything more traumatic and demeaning for mothers who unexpectedly lose pregnancies.
