Green a good choice for governor
I attended the JFK lunch to hear Jerri Green speak about her run to be governor of Tennessee. I was impressed beyond my wildest expectation. She is a lifelong Tennesseean from Memphis and is executive director of the Community Legal Center of Memphis, but she has about five other jobs heading up organizations for her community and the state. She is also currently a member of the Memphis City Council.
Oh, you should’ve heard her speak! She spoke without notes of any kind. She unwound the microphone cord from the stand because, she said, “I’m a mover.” She spoke of her background and her family, then talked about the work she does in the legal center and her other jobs. She spoke extensively about how she would approach being governor. She talked about the things she would do starting day one to make Tennessee a better state for all.
Jerri Green is putting herself out there for the people of Tennessee regardless of the death threats she is receiving from deplorables in our midst. I encourage all Tennesseans to see her platform. She openly accepted questions and responded with informed and intelligent answers. What a delightful change from what Tennessee has had to put up with these past several years.
