Oct 2, 2026. Tennessee State Rep. Justin J. Pearson is running for U.S. Congress (TN-09): votejustinj.com ~:~ Instagram @ justinjpearson

Justin’s behind in polling against his Republican opponent Brent Taylor. This is an open seat. The district was solidly-Democratic until May 2026 when the Tennessee GOP rushed a new map into law, which 'cracked' Memphis into thirds, turning the district from Solid-D to R+9 (exactly the kind of thing the Voting Rights Act was meant to prohibit).

Description: WATCH: Behind the Headlines interview on my campaign for Congress. I break down how both parties are holding on to the status quo, the war in Iran, & how we should lower the cost of gas, groceries, & electric bills, raise wages, & protect our environment.

Here’s the full 26-minutes on YouTube: Behind the Headlines with Justin J. Pearson - WKNO - October 2, 2026 (YouTube)

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 

We have to address the real issues that People in this district are talking about. 

The gas is too high, groceries are too high, and wages are too low. And trying to blame everything on immigration is part of the problem.

The reality is People are struggling because the Billionaire class is greedy, and they're doing everything in their power to amass more wealth, while working class People are struggling. 

Right now our Farmers are suffering because of the beef decisions that have been made, as it relates to imports and exports by this administration. 

We know individuals in our state are struggling because the minimum wage is $7.25. 

And we have done nothing to change those policies, because People like my Trump-endorsed opponent are bought by corporations. It's the reason people like SpaceXAI have given him $10,000. 

Because they want to have a status quo that hurts working People. 

And my job, and my effort that I'm making across these 15 counties, is to actually address the needs that People have, which is healthcare, housing, job opportunities, and protecting their land, their water, and the soil from data centers.

JD Vance (Oct 1, 2026):

"When Angie Nixon calls herself a socialist, I think the right response is, ‘Get the hell out of here.' You don’t belong in America, if those are your views."

Angie's response:

"I don't wanna COUCH my words here: I know JD Vance, his eyeliner, and absent Ashley Moody are used to running away from people when things get tough because they care more about themselves and their billionaire buddies than the people they represent. But this is my home.

The most ordinary man imaginable came to my home state to tell me to 'get out of America' while they enjoyed the comfort of buildings my ancestors built. Imagine standing on the shoulders of the ppl who built this country & then telling their descendants they don't belong here.

Wanting lower property insurance & healthcare for families isn't un-American; it's what working people deserve. They can take their tech-bro cash and their weird, intrusive agenda somewhere else, because I'm not going any damn place.

I don't go high when they go low. I get LOUD. Because the soul and humanity of this country are at stake."

Three high-profile killings within a 3-mile radius in south Minneapolis: George Floyd in 2020, Renee Good in 2026, and Alex Pretti in 2026 (a few weeks after Renee's death).

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

My name is Stella Carlson. I never expected to be someone testifying before you today. And I certainly never expected to bear witness to the final moments of a caring, peaceful, and dedicated member of my community — Alex Pretti — as he died at the hands of our own government.

I am just a regular person, but I care deeply about my community, my state, and my country. And I believe there is power in ordinary People speaking the truth.

On the morning of Saturday, January 24th, I was heading to work when I heard the whistles. When I turned onto Nicollet Avenue in Minneapolis on that cold winter day, I hardly recognized my own neighborhood.

There were masked and armed federal Agents flooding into a one-block radius. More than I had seen before. Agents were tackling innocent People to the ground, punching the windows of cars driving by, and pulling Drivers out of their windows with force, all before I even parked.

And that's when I saw the person whose name is now known all around the world: Alex Pretti.

I didn't know Alex. We had never met, but I saw him standing in the street with a camera, filming in one hand, and helping direct traffic with the other. He was calm, he was peaceful, handling the scene with grace. Alex was not a threat.

My instincts felt clear. I will be his backup, because that's what we can do. We can observe and document. We can stand and bear witness, and that is what I did.

Soon everything changed. The Agents' focus turned toward Alex. I was terrified. The number of Agents around him grew abruptly, as I stood feet away.

I watched him turn away from the scene of Agents, and lean down to help someone who had been brutally knocked down, leading to his very last words, "Are you okay?"

With his back facing them, I watched Alex be taken to the ground with a swarm of masked Agents on top of him.

In that moment, I believe Alex made a choice to be righteous, kind, and brave. To stand up for his Neighbors being assaulted in the street.

And then they shot him. Again and again and again.

Alex was flat on the ground, his limbs spread out. There was no movement.

The Agents fled quickly. I watched Alex die. It all happened so fast.

Then two masked Agents returned, and began to manipulate his dead body, ripping open his clothes as if to provide aid, but instead moving him around like a rag doll. They fled, leaving him exposed and alone.

Time felt like it stopped. Alex laid in the street, abandoned as if his life had no value.

As I continued to film, three of us stayed by his side as long as we could, before the Agents decided to return, and come for us.

The image of his lifeless body stays with me, but so does the image of Alex before the shooting. Calm, holding his camera, directing traffic, trying to help in solidarity with his Neighbors. That is the Alex Pretti that I saw in his final moments. I have come to learn that is who Alex was to everyone who knew, and loved him.

And that is why what happened afterward was so disturbing to me. Because I feel like I witnessed two assassinations. The first was the literal assassination of Alex.

The second was the attempted assassination of his character. Powerful voices at the highest level of government lied about Alex Pretti. They tried to take the gentle person I had watched with my own eyes, and claim he was a violent threat. Someone who came to cause maximum damage. Someone who wanted to kill law enforcement.

Those were all lies. We observed his murder with our own eyes. And the truth does not become less true because someone with great power tells a louder lie.

What happened to Alex cannot be treated as an isolated moment. We have seen the same federal immigration tactics surge across communities beyond Minnesota.

When federal Agents operate with overwhelming force, when People are killed, and when the Public is given false accounts of what happened, there must be accountability. We need to know what happened. We need independent thorough investigations, and we need that accountability at every level.

This is ultimately about whether in America, the truth belongs to whoever has the most power or whether the truth still has the power to hold government accountable. I believe it does. And that's why I will keep speaking.

Because Alex, his Family, and our Communities deserve the truth. And our government has an obligation to answer for what happened.

What concerns me so deeply is that — in a climate where federal immigration Officials have shown no interest in law & order, despite that being their stated objective — you have an entire Population that spans from those on visas, those with green cards, those with citizenship, those who are simply Children of Immigrants...being terrified at any & all immigration policies and rule changes.

And the decisions that that terror & fear — not only will lead Families to take, but has already led families to take — is one that will change People's lives for the worse, for years to come.

We're speaking about taking People out of Medicaid, of SNAP, of so many of the things that People rely on, because they're life-saving.

And that to me is what is incredibly concerning. That this is, without hyperbole, life or death for so many.

Well, they are wrong. ~:~ Today, I, along with advocacy groups and concerned and impacted Memphians, came to City Council and made our voices heard: We need a data center moratorium until proper regulations are passed to protect our communities. ~:~ I’m running for Congress to help lead that fight and hold billionaires like Elon Musk and giant corporations accountable for the damage AI is doing to our communities. ~:~ ➡️ VoteJustinJ.com

Georgia’s 1st District includes Savannah, Brunswick, Jesup, and Waycross. ~:~ Election Day is November 3.

Our Neighbors, our Friends, our Family members are looking for leadership at this moment. And I am running to be that leader.

Whether it is a house of worship or a Waffle House, we need to be meeting People where they are (not just when it's time to vote). 

And you know, People say a lot of things about this seat. That it’s not winnable…Jim Kingston has all the money…It is an R+8 district. And they keep hearing all these metrics, but the one metric I don't hear is: The pulse of the People. 

It is on you to make sure that we win in Southeast Georgia, and the whole State of Georgia. 

It is on us to make sure that in November, we're giving Senator Ossoff and future Governor Keisha Lance Bottoms the edge they need to win. 

And I know we can do it, because I see the energy in this room. I see the People behind us. And I'm excited about the future. 

So, y'all, we got this. And I hope to see you out on the field.
