I’m Marquita Bradshaw, the official Democratic nominee for United States Senate in Tennessee.
A fourth-generation South Memphis resident, Marquita has built on her family’s tradition of labor and community advocacy by working on issues affecting working families and historically underserved neighborhoods.
Her career has focused on environmental health, workers’ rights, economic opportunity, and public accountability. As executive director of Sowing Justice, an environmental justice nonprofit, she has addressed concerns involving industrial pollution, fossil-fuel infrastructure, data-center development, and their effects on local communities.
Drawing on years of grassroots advocacy, Marquita emphasizes community participation and government accountability. Her approach centers the experiences of residents directly affected by public policy and seeks to ensure that communities have a role in decisions concerning their health, livelihoods, and future.
"My public service is rooted in the challenges facing working families and a commitment to giving Tennesseans a stronger voice in Washington. My priorities include affordable healthcare and housing, strong public schools, universal broadband, voting rights, fair electoral districts, climate resilience, environmental justice, and greater economic opportunity
for every community." -- Marquita Bradshaw
