Memphis environmental advocate Marquita Bradshaw is running for U.S. Senate again, the Nashville Post reports. Bradshaw last ran in 2020 when she won the Democratic primary over James Mackler. She went on to lose by 27 percentage points to Republican Bill Hagerty. Since the last election, she has launched the nonprofit Sowing Justice, an environmental justice organization. Now Bradshaw is aiming to take on Republican U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn in 2024. In related news, the Tennessean reports that state Rep. Gloria Johnson, D-Knoxville, will also get in the race. The paper reports that two people with knowledge of her plans confirmed that campaign staff are being hired and an announcement is planned within weeks.
