Dem Candidate for TN State House District 45 (NE of Nashville). Advocate turned candidate fighting to make TN a safe and inclusive state for all people.

I got into this race after watching my current state rep fail me over and over again. After spending a lot of time down at the state capitol watching the legislative process, I realized how out of touch many of our current lawmakers are.

If you are considering skipping voting in local elections; let me paint a picture of how important local politics are. Local seats are shaping culture across the South, and often in ways that make us less safe and less educated.

Check out the Go Vote TN website or download the app to see your sample ballot. You can visit any early voting location in your registered county. Locations and time in Sumner are: July 30th 8-4:30 @ Hartsville Church of Christ 8-4:30 @ Community Church of Hendersonville July 31st

Privacy vs. Safety- should you have to give up one for the other? Tennessee is in the the top ten states for the number of license plate readers per capita. While they do assist law enforcement, they also are not perfect.

The heart of our representative democracy relies on the principle that it is everyday people like you and me who need to be calling the shots. So many of our current lawmakers are out of touch.

I’m so honored to have the support of these incredible organizations! This campaign is powered by people who believe in a better TN. Together, we’ll flip this seat, move our state forward, and build a future that works for every Tennessean. Let’s do cook up change together! #MandyCook4TN #statehouse

Early voting for local elections has started, but we are still committed to getting voters out for @kay_lokey_for_district_17 ! Kay and I get to knock together this weekend, and had some great conversations and added a few yard signs to Hendersonville.

Come along with me for a peek at one of my weekdays as a candidate for TN State House! The day ended with our Volunteer Appreciation Party, where we joined by the following local candidates: @kay_lokey_for_district_17 @chanittanealycampaign @votefernelius @phil_barnes_4tn_d35

Kay Lokey is an amazing candidate for county commission, and her seat is very flippable! She brings common sense and public safety experience to the job, with a background in law enforcement.

I recently got to chat with Pat Smith, who is running for County Comissiom District 11 in Sumner. Pat has been engaged and showing up for our community for many years, and we would be lucky to have her as a commissioner.

Feeling so grateful for these two- @illumiere and @jenncurtisphotography - and awesome couple and my lifelong friends. We got together and shot some content that we can't wait to share.
