I'm Bob Tuke and I'm running for Senate in the state of Tennessee. I'm a Marine veteran, lawyer, former Chairman of the Tennessee Democratic Party, and Tennessee Political Director for Obama for America. I'm running to unseat Senator Lamar Alexander and bring change to Washington.

Tennessee deserves a leader who will deliver universal and affordable healthcare; a leader who will invest in alternative energy; a leader who will provide our armed services members with the equipment and services they deserve.

But I'm going to need your help to get there.

This election cycle is about change – and we can sweep new leadership into Washington, even in places where the punditry doesn't think it is possible. While this campaign will be a challenge, I'm in it to win.

I've been busy at work since I announced my candidacy last week – talking to Tennesseans, making phone calls, and holding events. There is an energy on the ground in Tennessee – an exuberance and realization that we don't have to settle for the same old kind of politics. The same fervor for change that is spreading nationally is also happening in Tennessee – and we can use this momentum to replace Senator Alexander.

I need your involvement in this race. I'll keep updating the community here on our progress, but please sign-up on my website at www.tukefortennessee.com and donate if you can.
