获得进步派议员团体“国会进步党团”（又称“Squad”）支持的田纳西州众议员贾斯汀·皮尔逊（第86选区）是该州被称为“田纳西三杰”的三名议员之一，他于周四在田纳西州新划分的第9国会选区民主党初选中获胜。
皮尔逊击败了州参议员伦敦·拉马尔（第33选区）、社区活动家玛丽恩·拉特洛伊·亚历山德里亚-威廉姆斯以及律师吉姆·都灵。他将在11月与获得唐纳德·特朗普总统背书的共和党候选人布伦特·泰勒展开较量，皮尔逊凭借竞选期间筹集的数百万美元竞选资金，大幅领先民主党对手。
这位孟菲斯地区的州议员在竞选初期获得了包括“国会进步党团”在内的知名民主党人士的支持，其中包括纽约州民主党众议员亚历山德里亚·奥卡西奥-科特兹、马萨诸塞州民主党众议员阿雅娜·普雷斯利和宾夕法尼亚州民主党众议员萨默·李，他们上月都与皮尔逊一同出席了在孟菲斯举行的竞选集会。

以激昂的牧师式演讲著称的皮尔逊还获得了正义民主党、工人家庭党、“行动起来”和“不可分割”等全国左翼团体的支持。

皮尔逊在2023年因参与州众议院地板上的控枪抗议而声名鹊起，当时纳什维尔盟约学校枪击案造成三名儿童和三名成人遇难。
共和党议员随后以抗议为由将皮尔逊和 fellow 州众议员贾斯汀·琼斯驱逐出议会，但两人后来重新夺回了席位。
据当地媒体报道，第三位民主党人、诺克斯维尔的格洛丽亚·约翰逊仅以一票之差避免被驱逐。

周四皮尔逊赢得的开放式席位初选，背景是田纳西州国会选区地图重新划分——孟菲斯被拆分到三个倾向共和党的选区，导致长期担任民主党议员的田纳西州众议员史蒂夫·科恩宣布退休。
在新地图划分之前，以民主党人为主的孟菲斯地区基本完整地保留在第9选区内，这让田纳西州民主党人在这个整体偏向共和党的州拥有了一个稳固的国会席位。

自2023年以来，科恩一直是田纳西州9人众议院代表团中唯一的民主党人，其余8名均为共和党人，但新的选区划分让所有9个选区都对共和党有利。

Squad-backed Tennessee state Rep. Justin Pearson, District 86, part of the trio of lawmakers in his state referred to as the “Tennessee Three,” won the Democratic primary Thursday in Tennessee’s newly redrawn 9th Congressional District.
Pearson defeated state Sen. London Lamar, District 33, community activist Marion LaTroy Alexandria-Williams and attorney Jim Torino. He will face Brent Taylor,the Republican nominee who was endorsed by President Donald Trump,in November with his campaign warchest of millions of dollars he has raised throughout his campaign, significantly outpacing his Democratic opponents.
The Memphis-area state lawmaker entered the primary with the backing of prominent Democrats who are part of the progressive group of lawmakers called “the Squad,” including Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., and Summer Lee, D-Pa., who all joined Pearson at a campaign rally in Memphis last month.

Known for his fiery, preacher-style speeches, Pearson has also received support from national left-wing groups including Justice Democrats, the Working Families Party, MoveOn and Indivisible.

Pearson rose to national prominence in 2023 as one of the “Tennessee Three” lawmakers who participated in a gun-control protest on the state House floor following the Covenant School shooting in Nashville that killed three young kids and three adults.
Republican lawmakers subsequently expelled Pearson and fellow state Rep. Justin Jones over the protest, though they later regained their seats.
A third Democrat, Gloria Johnson of Knoxville, avoided expulsion by a single vote, according to local media reporting.

The open-seat primary won by Pearson on Thursday followed a redrawing of Tennessee’s congressional map that divided Memphis among three Republican-leaning districts and prompted longtime Democratic Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., to retire.
Before the new map, heavily Democratic Memphis was largely kept together in the 9th District, giving Tennessee Democrats one reliable congressional seat in an otherwise deeply Republican state.

Cohen has been the lone Democrat in Tennessee’s nine-member House delegation alongside eight Republicans since 2023, but the new map favors the GOP in all nine districts.
