Three years ago, I stood before the school board because adults in power were proposing to force teachers to out transgender students to their parents. I spoke because every child deserves to be safe, seen, and loved.Tonight, more than 30 people gathered to handwrite postcards for our campaign.Different room. Different fight. Same reason.I’ve always believed leadership is about showing up for people—especially when it’s hard. Whether it’s standing up for vulnerable kids or knocking doors to build a better future for Tennessee, this campaign has never been about politics. It’s about people.Thank you to everyone who showed up tonight, and to everyone who has stood beside me over these last three years. Let’s keep going. #lindseyfortn #tennessee #lgbt #protecttranskids #protectqueerkids by @lindseypatrickwright

Two years ago, Pip and I sat down for a little series we called Q&Gay—a chance for me to ask honest questions and for them to answer with honesty, humor, and grace. It sparked conversations we never expected, so this Pride Month, we’re doing it again.Two years later, what I want for my kid hasn’t changed.I want them to be safe. I want them to be able to build a life they can afford right here in Tennessee. I want them to be judged by their character, not have their identity debated or legislated by politicians.Every parent wants to see their child thrive. That’s not a partisan value—it’s a human one.Happy Pride. We hope this conversation brings a few smiles, maybe answers a few questions, and reminds all of us that our kids deserve joy, belonging, and the freedom to simply be themselves. #lindseyfortn #pride🌈 #lgbt #protecttranskids #proudmom by @lindseypatrickwright

Proud to be passing literature this weekend for these amazing folks whom I now consider friends. 💙 If you're in Wilson County you can vote for the first 3, and if you're in my CC district of course you better be picking the last one!@brittany4tndp is already doing the TNDP EC job - she is the reason we have 33 dems running in Wilson County this year! she teaches me things every day!@lindseypatrickwright is the best candidate to flip the senate seat - she's a fighter, she's progressive, and she's incredibly compassionate@chaneymosley4tn is a dream candidate - he's a farmer, veteran, and father - exactly the kind of Southern Democrat I can't wait to see in Congress@richie4tn is my guy, my candidate, my friend - exactly who I want in charge of deciding how my taxes get spent, growth becomes strategic, and speeding gets reduced in Wilson County by @lindseypatrickwright

I’ve been called “too far left” more than a few times.If fighting for LGBTQ+ kids, women’s healthcare, and public education is “too far,” I’m okay with that.Because when your rights are on the line, I don’t want to be almost willing to fight for you.I want to be willing to go as far as it takes.#democrats #lindseyfortn #tennessee #getoutthevote #progressive by @lindseypatrickwright

Our head intern, Cat, got a pretty incredible shoutout from Rep. Justin J. Pearson—and it’s well deserved. 💙Cat has poured her heart into this campaign, registering voters, bringing her friends to the polls, knocking doors, making calls, and reminding all of us that democracy belongs to everyone, especially the next generation.But this isn’t just a Cat appreciation post.It’s a thank you to every young person who has chosen to spend their summer fighting for something bigger than themselves. Our interns and youth volunteers have given up weekends, evenings, and countless hours because they believe Tennessee can be better.You aren’t “the leaders of tomorrow.” You’re leading right now.Watching this generation organize with courage, compassion, and determination gives me so much hope for the future of our state.Thank you, Cat. Thank you to every one of our interns. And thank you to every young person who has joined this campaign. I couldn’t be more proud to be in this fight with you. 💙 #tennessee #getoutthevote #voteblue #votingmatters #lindseyfortn by @lindseypatrickwright

10 days of early voting left. Ends August 1. Not only is early voting the easiest way to cast your vote, it also helps grassroots campaigns like ours use our resources effectively by only focusing on the folks who haven’t voted. If you know who you’re planning to vote for, I encourage you to make a plan to early vote! Have you voted yet?! If not, what is your plan to vote? Let us know in the comments. 👇🏼#lindseyfortn #earlyvote #getoutthevote #democrats #tennessee by @lindseypatrickwright
