Protecting Students with Disabilities

Lauren will protect Tennessee children with disabilities affected by federal changes to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and the dismantling of the U.S. Department of Education. She will expand school vouchers specifically for students with unique needs that cannot be met in the mainstream classroom, ensuring every learner has a path to the support and services they require.

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?
