13-Year-Old Ryan Jenkins Launches VOTE Tennessee Initiative

  • Friday, September 25, 2020

Ryan Jenkins, a 13-year-old student from Soddy Daisy, announced a new project he has been working on called VOTE Tennessee. 

Mr. Jenkins, who believes all voters should be informed, created this project to do that exact thing.

The mission of VOTE Tennessee is to inform voters of the candidates running for specific offices in the state of Tennessee and help voters become familiar with what these candidates believe by sending a questionnaire to candidates from all across the state. VOTE Tennessee also plans to host virtual candidate discussions since not as much in=person campaigning can go on due to Covid-19. 

Right now VOTE Tennessee is active on Facebook, where they post all candidate responses and videos.

VOTE Tennessee can be reached via email at tnvotes20@gmail.com. VOTE Tennessee is also looking for additional volunteers. "If you would like to help, please reach out," officials said.

VOTE Tennessee's goal is to reach out to every state house and state senate candidate across the state.
