#EarlyVoting starts today, & I got to do something surreal, which was see my name on this ballot. Takeaways from my trip to #GOTV.
Butt is even more dishonest than we already thought (trailers included) as the self proclaimed “proven Republican leadership” candidate is an (I)?
Baker is not a serious candidate, he is trying to help Butt by attempting to siphon off from Charlie Norman.
How we fail as a party is by allowing so many offices to go unopposed. We need more people to step up and run for office to bring balance to the ballots.
This starts at the fact there were just no listed candidates for a field w/any distinction. @MauryCountyDems after this election cycle we need to have a serious look at ourselves to figure out a plan to increase our party listings on the ballot for 2024. We’re in all districts
So let’s run somebody for something in each of them. You’re in them as party members, take that leap of faith. Ask @ChangeTN_, making a change to a purple on to #BlueTN requires us changing local perceptions by not having someone be shocked that a @tndp candidate is on the ballot

Yes! Thank You, @JeremyTN64 for being the example that proves this point! It’s doable we all see the efforts of Jeremy are proving the points I am making after seeing 4 spots, not just as uncontested Republicans for DA & Judges, with 0 candidates in District 11 all together.
So to recap from yesterday. #GOTV#EarlyVoting is here. Pick your pick for #governor. Rally behind @Campbell4TN, myself, Carson, @AD5NL, @JeremyTN64, as well as our D neighbors as (I), & the only mayor candidate that doesn’t scream self absorbed or here to help Butt.
Speaking of David Carson though, this isn’t a message for David to put out there, but it is a good 1 for @MauryCountyDems to discuss with our fellow #MauryCountians. We have a unique opportunity #HD71 gives us the chance to have 2 #StateReps from Maury County.
2 months ago @jbsmileyjr came to Columbia to talk to @MauryCountyDems & took me back in time to an #election that felt devastating, because he told 1 of the regular stories about @HaroldFordJr’s Senate campaign. I volunteered for that campaign it was my 1st campaign to do so.
I loved hearing the story again about the guys in the Redneck restaurant saying they would #vote for Harold. I can still remember much of the phone bank script from that lifetime ago. @jbsmileyjr talking that same message is why I told everyone a while back that I believe in him
I believe @jbsmileyjr gets the idea beyond the hit the places that are going to #VoteBlue every cycle & go see other communities that are more purple than their recent past indicates. Revitalize that demographic. If @jasonbmartin wins this primary, I hope he gets that idea
The link from @thedailyherald & conversation in @AD5NL’s 🧵 I understand, but I want to know from @MauryGOP followers on this. Does it bother you that the Mayor made a grandstanding gesture for some bogus fundraising quotes delaying @MauryCoSchools budget for the upcoming year
Just to fundraise off of something he knows can be overturned with a simple majority? Are you okay being used as a prop for his campaign as Andy demonstrates that he doesn’t care about the issues, and Andy refused to give an explanation on the actual issues inside the budget?
Has Andy ever shown that he cares for anything besides Andy? Ask yourself those questions as we enter Early voting.
@MauryCountyDems took the holiday to not tweet out it’s @AndyOgles list of self inflicted wounds on his course to a higher office. But I want to focus on 2 things he says that demonstrates our ability to use critical thinking. @ 1st glance these 2 areas Andy & I seem to agree
1. It matters who leads. That’s his slogan, & those words are correct, but the guy that over ruled the Mayor of Columbia @chazmolder working to protect his constituents caused @MauryRegional to have a mobile morgue. He stiffed @Columbia_TN on his idiotic #MuleFest to score points
He flatly demonstrated that he puts Andy above #MauryCounty. It does matter who leads & it’s why we need to rally around electing @Campbell4TN over Andy, Parks trying to get elected to skip sentencing, @BethHarwellTN who sold her perceived values from her bid for Governor out
@NPR is doing its annual reading and tweeting of the #DeclarationOfIndependence. 246 years ago a group of men felt it so important that they risked everything to defy a King & start a path for a democratic republic. Today we’re seeing those values attacked by the stolen #SCOTUS
@MauryCountyNow@MauryHoller@JeremyTN64 anyone that ever echoed #SaveLickCreek this makes it easier for the bigger city to dump on your water tables ruining your well water, spring houses, or just your pastureland and farms in general. This is an attack on rural Tennessee
David Carson II is an actual Maury County Resident running to represent the 71st, and I would love for us to have 2 reps for our county present in Nashville to be able to voice these ideas, because the former State Rep from 71 from Wayne Co doesn’t care what happens here
