Candidate Endorsement Application

Are you a progressive candidate running for state or local office in a majority rural district in Tennessee? We want to help! Investments in rural districts, especially for local offices, are few and far between. But we know this is the only way to grow the bench, flip seats, get out of the super minority, and invest in needle moves.

All endorsed candidates will have the opportunity to receive financial contribution as well as free political consulting provided through Harvesting Democracy, LLC.

Endorsements will be decided by a committee appointed by the Chair, with equal representation spread across Tennessee’s East, Middle, and West Grand Divisions. Applications for endorsements will open April 29, 2024 and be awarded on a rolling basis. Candidates who have primary challengers will be considered after their primary.
