Open Primaries

In a state so heavily controlled by one party, all voters should be allowed to vote for the person they most want to govern them in order to protect democratic representation. Lauren supports keeping primaries open so all voters, no matter their political affiliation, can participate in choosing the candidates who appear in general elections.

Support Lauren Pinkston for Governor

Lauren Pinkston is running to be Tennessee's next governor, and she needs YOUR help to win!

A 7th-generation Tennessean and the strongest independent candidate in the state's modern political history, Lauren spent 15 years working in anti-trafficking policy around the world before coming home convinced Tennessee was ready for something different.

With no party machinery or built-in donor network behind her, every dollar comes from Tennesseans who chose to show up. 9 in 10 dollars raised has come from right here in Tennessee, from nurses, teachers, farmers, and small business owners done waiting for either party to get it right. Can Lauren count on you to chip in $51 today?
