The DNC congratulates Justin J. Pearson on winning the Democratic primary for Tennessee’s 9th Congressional District. Democratic voters throughout Tennessee supported candidates who are focused on lowering the cost of living, protecting healthcare, investing in education, and fighting for working families.
In response to Justin J. Pearson’s victory, DNC Chair Ken Martin released the following statement:
“As a state representative and civil rights leader, Justin J. Pearson has spent his career fighting for Tennesseans. In Congress, he will continue to deliver for working families by fighting to lower costs, expand access to healthcare, invest in public education, protect voting rights, and keep our communities safe. The DNC is ready to mobilize voters to elect Pearson and ensure Tennessee’s 9th Congressional District has a reliable leader who will put them first every single day.”
