  • Campaigns are about differences. Differences in experience, qualifications, ideas, and values. We have to be aware of those differences to make an informed choice. My opponent, Brent Taylor, and I are vastly different. Brent is a career politician who is running for two offices at the same time. He was first elected 31 years ago. He wants to be in Congress so badly, he gave himself $1 million. Me? I’m a pediatric hospital chaplain and educator raised in rural Middle Tennessee on a working farm.

  • In May of this year, the state legislature, with Brent Taylor's vote, changed multiple laws to allow him to run for Congress in a newly drawn district. But it was IMPOSSIBLE to extend the deadline to withdraw? You know what is possible? Electing a State Senator who will tell you the truth and only wants to serve District 31. Vote David Weatherspoon for State Senate between now and Oct. 29 or on Election Day, Nov. 3.

  • Terms like “radical” are the words of politicians who are devoid of ideas and who will do almost anything to stay in power. What's radical is changing the rules and districts to run for two tax-payer funded offices at the same. Something else that's radical? Endorsements from people like Kid Rock, who glorifies the abuse of girls, and Congressman Jim Jordan, who lacks the character to stand against the abuse of young men. Supporting Trump's tariffs and his war is radical when Americans are st

  • We don't need to match Brent Taylor dollar for dollar to beat him; we need just enough money to get the word out that there is a candidate here in District 31 who is interested in our neighbors, the people here, and will represent our needs. I will fight for stronger public schools, affordable healthcare, safer communities, and leadership that puts people first. Chip in today and help power our path to the state house. Let's fight for a common ground for the common good together. ➡️ Donate no

  • Why are Tennesseans paying $2 BILLION a year to the federal government but those dollars aren’t coming back to help us? That’s because the TN GOP refuses to expand Medicaid. Even Mississippi has expanded Medicaid, and to the benefit of its citizens. As your state senator, I will fight to bring those federal tax dollars back home.
