District 95 Vacancy (R)Mark Lovell Resigns [View all]

I recently learned about the vacancy created by the resignation of Mark Lovell. I started googling to find out as much info as I can and it appears that only one Democrat is running in this special election to fill the vacancy. Her name is Julie Byrd Ashworth. It would be great if we could get a jump on 2018 and take this seat in the House.

I am a total newb, greenhorn to politics and this forum is the basis of most of my learning. I would love to be able to help and would appreciate any advice from the great minds here. I am going to volunteer for JBA. Any thoughts? I was actually sickened to see how many Rs are running. It's part of living in the south though. District 95 is an affluent suburban area of Memphis. It almost feels hopeless, but I still intend to do all I can!
