Gloria Johnson, Democratic candidate for State House District 13, has put out a "Vol call" for volunteers. Here's a list of opportunities to help.
Also, consider helping these Democratic candidates out with a buck or two if you can spare it. They are all safe in the primary, but will need lots of ammunition in the general.
• Evelyin Gill, TN Senate 6th: Donate, Website
• Gloria Johnson, TN House 13th: Donate, Website
• Jerome Miller, TN House 14th: Donate, Website
• Anthony Hancock, Tn House 18th: Donate, Website
Also, if you are so inclined, here are some relatively moderate Republicans (I know, I know) who are unopposed in the general but have challengers in the primary who might not be so open to progress:
• Doug Overbey, TN Senate 2nd: Donate, Website
• Bo Pierce, TN House 89th: Donate, Website
• Bob Ramsey, TN House 20th: Donate?, Website?

Now, why would you leave Troy
Now, why would you leave Troy Goodale off of the list of Dems to which one might contribute? Good guy, knowledgeable on the issues, dedicated to the cause, and willing to work. House district 2 hasn't had a better candidate in a long time.
Was looking at state races.

I got a chance to meet Troy just the other day, at the Farragut Fourth of July parade, and I was also impressed, Cafkia.
See Troy Goodale for U. S. House Congressional District 2 here (and see "donate" button at top of screen).
