The DNC congratulates Jerri Green on her victory in Tennessee’s gubernatorial primary. Tennesseans from every part of the state are all-in to support strong leaders who are focused on lowering gas and grocery costs, protecting healthcare, creating good-paying jobs, supporting small businesses, and fighting for working families.
In response to Jerri Green’s victory, DNC Chair Ken Martin released the following statement:
“From her time as a lawyer who represented those who couldn’t afford legal services, to serving as a member of the Memphis City Council, Jerri Green has spent her career fighting to ensure that all Tennesseans have a fair shot. As a trusted community leader, she has always put families first while advocating for lower costs and strong public safety. Jerri will continue this work as governor while championing an affordable economy for working families, investing in public education, protecting healthcare, and supporting our farmers and producers. The DNC is ready to mobilize voters to elect a strong leader like Green who will deliver a better, more affordable Tennessee for everyone.”
