Tennessee MomPAC, a new grassroots political action committee, has emerged in the political landscape of the state with a focus on gun reform. Founded by Heather Thomas, the group aims to push people to the polls and advocate for issues that are seen as harmful to families and children, regardless of political affiliations.
While the General Assembly recently passed legislation allowing teachers to carry guns on campus, TN MomPAC is actively working to drive votes against such measures and other legislation they deem detrimental. Despite the intentions behind the teacher carry bill to enhance school safety, the group believes there are more effective ways to protect children, such as having school resource officers in every school.
The TN MomPAC ads have specifically targeted lawmakers who supported the teacher carry bill, signaling their intention to hold them accountable in the upcoming election. Through their advocacy efforts, the group is determined to raise awareness about various political issues, including gun reform, anti-LGBTQ laws, book bans, and reproductive care. As the November elections approach, TN MomPAC plans to leverage these issues to mobilize voters and ensure that the voices of families and children are heard.
In response to the growing influence of TN MomPAC, lawmakers who support the teacher carry bill have defended their stance, emphasizing the need for additional security measures in schools. However, the group remains committed to their cause, determined to challenge legislation they believe threatens the well-being of children. With a clear focus on driving votes and amplifying their concerns, TN MomPAC is poised to make a significant impact on the political landscape of Tennessee.
