A lifelong Tennessean, lawyer, public servant, educator, and proud mom of three. She has lived in Memphis, Nashville, and Knoxville, and knows firsthand the beauty, the struggles, and the deep values that define every corner of this state.

She’s spent her life showing up for her community when it matters most—whether fighting for the most vulnerable as a public defender, advocating for living wages as a Memphis City Councilor, or championing healthcare access and fundamental freedoms as a leader in County Government. She’s no stranger to tough fights and has a record of winning.

Now, Jerri is bringing that same fire to the Governor’s race—because Tennessee families deserve better.
