In Their Words

What they have said, on the record

“We've known about climate change since before I was born. All my life I've watched us allow it to worsen. And now a handful of people are trying to capitalize on it. We can't allow it anymore. I'm ready for a world where we care for all people and plan for generations, and that's why Climate Action is my number one priority.”
Dave Seeman: in their own wordsSelf-published · davefortn.com campaign site · source
“I'm running to challenge the systems that sustain political division, not to partake in that system. Tennessee is where I was raised, became an engineer, started my small business, and invested in my community. I want to leave it better than I found it. I want to build better government, by design.”
