SUMMARY:State Democratic Party Chairman Hosted by Local Party
DESCRIPTION:The Giles County Democratic Party welcomes the Tennessee Democratic Party’s state chairman\, Hendrell Remus\, to a special event on Oct. 23\, 2021\, at 1 p.m. \nThe event is free to all Democrats and those eager to learn more about the Party’s agenda for the upcoming years. \nRemus is the first African American elected to serve as Tennessee’s state party chairman and the first in state history to be chair of any major party. At 34 years old he is also the first millennial to serve in such a capacity. \nRemus served as an Ex-officio member of the Tennessee Democratic Party Executive Committee and as the National Committeeman for the TN Young Democrats. \nWith a commitment to Democratic values\, Remus has worked on a number of TN campaigns. From serving as a strategic advisor to mayoral and state house candidates to assisting local school board\, city council and county commission races\, he has been an asset to Democratic candidates and causes.  Often driven by the same volunteerism that led him into politics during the 2008 campaign of Barack Obama. \nPrior to becoming Chair\, Hendrell Remus worked as the Assistant Director of Emergency Management at Tennessee State University\, a role that followed his tenure as the Middle TN Operations Manager for Allied Universal. \nHis background in business management and operations\, coupled with a passion for progressive politics\, sets the tone for his leadership at the helm of TNDP. Chair Remus is focused on building a stronger TN Democratic party infrastructure and beginning the hard work to register more voters and elect more Democrats. \n“We are going to take back the mantle of the people\, it’s time for us to start highlighting how under republican leadership so many have really falling off the economic cliff\,” Remus said. \nRemus admits the “to-do” list is long. \n“I’m extremely hopeful for the future of the Democratic Party and I think we’re going to do some great things in the coming years\,” said the Memphis native who lives in Nashville with his wife and two children. \nDonations to the Giles County Democratic Party will be accepted at the Oct. 23 free event. \nAdditionally\, a limited number of Giles County Democratic Party T-Shirts will be available for a minimum $15 donation. \n

SUMMARY:Democratic Gubernatorial Candidate to Speak on Pulaski’s Public Square Oct. 9
DESCRIPTION:Jason Martin\, M.D. will speak on Pulaski’s Courthouse Square on Saturday\, Oct. 9\, at 11:30 a.m. \nThe director of Hendersonville’s critical care unit\, Martin has been a vocal critic of Governor Bill Lee’s handling of the Covid-19 crisis. \n“Overall\, I feel like the governor’s response to COVID has been ‘fend for yourself\,’” Martin recently stated in the Tennessean newspaper. “I think it’s costing people’s lives.” \nThe physician\, who announced his 2022 candidacy for the Governorship of Tennessee in August\, has no prior governmental service. He has referred to himself as an “authentic outsider” and a “moderate” Democrat. As such\, he is conducting a listening tour to meet as many Tennesseans as possible during visits to each of the state’s 95 counties. \nHe has stated his platform as including job creation\, affordable health care and fully-funded education. His appearance in Pulaski\, like during other stops of his listening tour\, are to hear voters’ issues and concerns. \nThe public is encouraged to attend this first step in Martin’s run for leadership of Tennessee.
