Past Endorsements

Meet our incredible state and federal candidates! This year, we proudly endorsed 30 state and 5 federal candidates. Thanks to your support, we sent all of our women back to the Assembly and added two newcomers: Past-President Gabby Salinas (Shelby) and Rep. Shaundelle Brooks (Davidson) who pushed our representation from 15.2% to 17.6%!

Congratulations to Judge Stephanie Williams, and thanks to all of our endorsed local candidates! In school boards across Middle Tennessee, women are taking a stand to protect public schools and resist the ultra-conservative movement poised to restrict speech and expression in our schools. Building power takes time, and our bench looks good. 

Ruby, our Vice President of Membership, continues to empower women through her leadership at Elect Black Women PAC, while Delishia now serves on the Nashville Metro Council at-Large. Our women are building power and making change!

In the 2023 Metro Nashville Election, we celebrated a 70% win rate and elected our first majority women council. Huge congratulations to Zulfat Suara on her re-election and to Delishia Porterfield for securing an at-large seat. We love seeing these amazing women shine!

In the 2020 General Election, we made history by electing the youngest woman in the Tennessee House of Representatives, and flipping a Senate seat in Davidson County. Women are leading the way for progress! 

Judge Lynda Jones was re-elected in Davidson County, Commissioner Lisa Pritchard secured her seat in Montgomery County, and Robin Kimbrough Hayes, a former Parliamentarian for our Caucus, was elected to the General Sessions Court in Nashville. These women are making waves in their communities!
