Our Why
At the Best of Tennessee, our goal is to foster a state government that better represents the majority of its citizens. We're doing that by bringing more Tennesseans into primary elections and mobilizing that expanded electorate to hold lawmakers accountable at the ballot box. When more people participate and lawmakers face meaningful electoral consequences, our government becomes more responsive to the majority.
THE PRIMARIES MATTER
1
Who you
choose counts.
State lawmakers make decisions about the issues closest to home: our schools, roads, safety, and affordability.

2
Your vote carries the most weight in this election.
So few people vote in August that each ballot decides far more than it would in November. In many districts, a few hundred votes decide who represents you.

The people already showing up may not share your values.
When only a fraction of the population votes, this small group chooses for everyone.
