We cannot allow generations of Tennessee farming families to become casualties of Washington’s trade wars. Our farmers deserve better than uncertainty. They deserve better than being treated as collateral damage.

It’s time we put Tennessee farmers first.

We're excited to be sponsors of Martin's Grassroots Soybean Festival. We support community engagement and involvement and believe that when we work together, we are better.

Sponsor Highlight: Weakley County Democratic Party

We want to thank the Weakley County Democratic Party for becoming a sponsor of Martin’s Grassroots Soybean Festival!

This festival is being built by local people, local businesses, and community partners who believe the tradition of gathering together is worth preserving.

Their sponsorship speaks volumes about their commitment to our community and their willingness to stand in the gap and help save the Soybean Festival.

Support from organizations like the Weakley County Democratic Party helps cover the real costs of making this festival safe, organized, welcoming, and family friendly.

Thank you, Weakley County Democratic Party, for supporting our community and helping preserve the tradition of gathering together to celebrate what makes Martin so special!

Although this isn't the outcome we wanted. We thank Joyce Washington for Weakley Co Commissioner District 5, Sam Goyret for Weakley County Commissioner District 5 and Kenneth Irving for being brave and putting their name on the literal line.

For those that could vote for a Democrat on the county ticket, it was refreshing to have a Democrat to vote for! We stand behind all of our Weakley Dems and we will continue to support democratic values city, county, and statewide.
