Tennessee lawmakers are spending $3 million of your money to redraw maps that protect their party - repealing a 50-year-old law in a session that blocked citizens from even commenting. Tennesseans deserve better than politicians drawing their own districts behind closed doors.

Dr. Lauren Pinkston is the only candidate for governor calling for a nonpartisan independent redistricting commission – removing maps from legislative control entirely.

Add your name to independent redistricting - the maps may have passed, but Tennesseans across party lines are demanding this never happens again.

Who's Behind This Petition

Dr. Lauren Pinkston is a McNairy County native, PhD, and former business ethics professor who has spent her career at the intersection of community psychology, global development, and the fight against human trafficking. She is a wife to a family physician and mother of four, now running as an independent candidate for Governor of Tennessee.

She was warning about this before it happened. Now she's the only candidate with a plan to make sure it never happens again by calling for a nonpartisan redistricting commission that removes mapmaking from legislative control entirely, letting communities – not parties – determine representation.

She doesn't have a party to protect. She has a state she wants to govern.
