Justin Pearson and Tennessee Three Speak at DNC

At the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Gov. Wes Moore praised Vice President Kamala Harris as the ideal leader for the moment, urging attendees to channel their skepticism into action. U.S. Rep. Jamie Raskin highlighted the dangers of returning to past political turmoil, while Prince George’s Executive Angela Alsobrook expressed her support for Harris. The Tennessee Three—Justin Jones, Justin Pearson, and Gloria Johnson—were spotlighted as prominent figures advocating for gun reform and democratic values after their expulsion from the Tennessee House. They are set to speak at the convention, with Pearson emphasizing the importance of their mission for justice and democracy. Despite Tennessee's history as a Republican stronghold, the focus remains on the Democratic efforts during the campaign leading to the November presidential election.
