Jones says mass shootings, not drag queens, are a threat to our kids.

Yesterday, I joined Rep. Justin Jones to talk to Velshi on MSNBC about the ridiculous decision of the TN GOP to prioritize the gun lobby over the safety of our students. We need to stop the guns from getting to the schoolhouse, not bring the gunfights into the classroom!

Y’all— we just heard from a good source that by the end of session House Republicans only had 22 votes (!!) in favor of Gov. Bill Lee’s private school voucher scam.

You did that. Your energy. Your resolutions. Your voices. It worked.

You protected TN’s public schools. Take a bow.
