We are honored to host Congresswoman Yvette Clarke, Chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, for a special fundraiser right here in Nashville. Congresswoman Clarke has been on the frontlines in Washington fighting to protect our rights, expand opportunity, and ensure our communities are not left behind. This event is a unique chance to stand with her and demonstrate that Tennessee is ready to be part of the national conversation. Whether you can attend in person or make a contribution, your support is critical.

Monday, September 22, 2025

9:30 AM - SHARP



On Monday, September 22, 2025, we will gather in Memphis to honor a true local hero with the dedication and renaming of the S. Perkins Road Bridge as the Maurice Ira Salmon, Jr. Memorial Bridge. At just 20 years old, Maurice Salmon bravely risked his life in March 1980 to stop oncoming traffic and rescue others when the bridge collapsed, saving lives through his courage and selflessness. This ceremony, sponsored by Leader Karen Camper, is a moment to pay tribute not only to Maurice’s extraordinary sacrifice but also to the values of service, bravery, and community that he embodied. We invite you to join us at 9:30 AM at 4725 Showcase Blvd. to honor his legacy and ensure his story continues to inspire generations to come.

Despite ongoing efforts to dismantle congressionally authorized offices of minority business development, as the Tennessee House Democratic Leader, I remain steadfast in my commitment to supporting and uplifting our small and minority-owned businesses. That is why I am proud to sponsor Tennessee Minority Enterprise Development (MED) Week 2025. This contracting summit will bring together business owners, industry leaders, and policymakers to discuss opportunities and strategies for growth in a changing landscape. MED Week is more than an event—it is a declaration that our communities will continue to build, innovate, and thrive despite adversity.
