Odessa Kelly Campaign
Odessa Kelly, head of the liberal group Stand Up Nashville, is running for the Democratic nomination in Tennessee s 5th Congressional District, which includes metropolitan Nashville.
Nashville community organizer Odessa Kelly announced on Monday that she is mounting a progressive primary challenge against Rep. Jim Cooper, a veteran Tennessee Democrat with a history of fiscally conservative votes.
“We need more pathways out of poverty, and the status quo is no longer good enough,” Kelly, a co-founder and executive director of the liberal group Stand Up Nashville, said in a statement. “I know how to build coalitions that get results, and I’m running for Congress so that we can make bold, ambitious change at the national level.”

We ve seen countless protests but we ve never seen a riot, much less an insurrection like this one. it very quickly got out of hand, Cooper explained.
