Unhappy with the 2012 slate of candidates for US Senate in Tennessee, Jacob decided to enter the race to give an option and voice to those who consider themselves liberal. Our state is capable of being one of the brightest and most progressive states in our nation. As of now, we are being held back by both the "same ole" rank-and-file candidates and typical politicians, many of which are humiliating our state with extreme policies and embarrassing comments. Tennessee needs an option that will bring a positive and intellectual voice to our state so that we can make our state stronger than ever. Jacob is approachable, an engaged conversationalist, and will bring a refreshing new voice to our state's political scene.

Upon completion of the 2012 election, Jacob is staying in the political conversation. With his activism, he plans on reaching to liberal voters across the state and creating a community in which the Democratic Party can become viable again.

Spread the word! Tell your friends, family, and co-workers that there are options for liberals in Tennessee. Jacob is a high school teacher, not a millionaire politician. Spread the word for him the old-fashioned way: by word-of-mouth (or in a 21st century context..social media!). Share this site with everyone you know. Follow Jacob on Twitter. Like his Facebook campaign page. 

Your written contributions will be welcome. If you have an idea for a story, please reach out to Jacob!
