Endorsements across Tennessee
Future901 is on the move looking around for growth opportunities. Tennessee will never break the super majority unless we flip seats across the state. We talked with several groups and researched races across districts. In addition to our local candidates, Jesse Huseth and Noah Nordstrom, it was generally agreed these were 8 critical races where Progressives have the best chance of retaining or flipping seats. We have endorsed in all these races and as you read through this, remember they all need our support to win in November. This is our time.
