State Rep. Antonio Parkinson has become known as a fierce fighter for the people of Tennessee. He has been vocal in the protection of the citizens of Memphis when under attack from others across the state. 

State Rep. Antonio Parkinson has authored and passed laws that have protected working men and women, removed violent criminals from our communities along with laws that have opened the door for new businesses and careers to be started. 

He has been named Legislator of the Year four times by different organizations with one of the awards being Regional Legislator of the Year by the National Black Caucus of State Legislators. 

He has fought for women to receive equal pay, affordable health insurance for all Tennesseans, a livable wage for all and quality education for our children and adults. 

"I was considered the under dog growing up and now I fight for those that feel as if they don't have a voice."

"When I first ran, I ran on STRONG, DECISIVE LEADERSHIP". I still believe in that mantra and it is just that that has allowed us to get the wins we have received in a Republican controlled legislature".

Lunch with the stylists and barbers! Wow!

Today I had the opportunity to have lunch with stylists and barbers from Memphis and Shelby County. During the lunch we discussed some of the issues the industry faced earlier this year with the threat of House Bill 1809 and a strategy moving forward. We also discussed healthcare for Tennesseans.  Lastly, we enjoyed great food at Miss Girlee's restaurant. 

The other exciting news is that the industry professionals present endorsed both myself for reelection to state representative and Craig Fitzhugh for governor. We support small and minority businesses. We support the professionals in the beauty industry. 

Don't let this election slip by without you being part of the movement. You can join us by voting early in this election and by making a small contribution so we can get people to the polls to vote.
