Senator Heidi Campbell: Defending Nashville
Nashville is in the midst of a hostile takeover from our state legislature. Members of the controlling party are focused on taking rights away from our city and our families. During Senator Campbell’s term in the General Assembly, they passed legislation to cut the Metro Nashville Council in half; take over seats on the city’s sports and airport authorities; eliminate Nashville’s community oversight board; change the votes necessary for renovations at the speedway; and restrict tax revenue collected around the Music City Center.
Senator Campbell saw these attempts for what they are: an attempt to subvert the will of Nashville voters and she fought back at every opportunity. She will always stand up for her district and her hometown.
Senator Heidi Campbell: Delivering Results for Tennessee Families
Senator Campbell and her Democratic colleagues in the General Assembly remain focused on sponsoring legislation to strengthen families and communities, to invest in our kids, and to create more opportunity for all Tennesseans. They want to return Tennessee to the basic idea that built the middle class: the government must work better for families who work hard and play by the rules.
Count on Senator Campbell to continue to do the hard work of reaching across the aisle to get results for folks who punch a clock, for working and middle class families, and for those who feel they don't have a voice.
