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".

Our most senior voter voted this week.
98 year old Junius Puryear voted early last Friday at Dave Wells Community Center. In all of his 98 years and eligibility to vote, Mr. Puryear has only missed one vote.
I met Mr. Puryear about a year or so ago. I was invited by Pastor and First Lady Robert Jones of Keel Avenue Baptist Church to present Mr. And Mrs. Puryear a state proclamation for 75 years of marriage. Mrs. Puryear has since transitioned from this life but their tradition of voting continues to go forth through Mr. Puryear.
If Mr. Puryear, at 98 years old can see the importance of voting and make his way to the polls, there is no excuse for others not to vote.
Help us in our efforts to continue to get out the vote so that seniors and disabled veterans like Mr. Puryear can receive the services and tax relief they deserve.
