MEMPHIS, Tenn. - Justin J. Pearson has reclaimed his District 86 seat in the Tennessee House of Representatives on Thursday night in a special general election.
According to unofficial election results at 8:31 p.m., Pearson received 1,930 votes, compared to 136 votes to independent candidate Jeff Johnston.
The win was unsurprising for a seat in a district that heavily favors Democrats.

🚨 The Biden administration has shown cartels that our Southwest border is open for business. As @RepMarkGreen warned, expanded use of the CBP One app is just one more iteration of catch-and-release, and cartels are happily capitalizing off of it.

Former Media Producer Sentenced for Extortion and Obstruction of Justice
Friday, August 4, 2023
A former media producer was sentenced today to four years and three months in prison for extortion and obstruction of justice related to his involvement in a scheme to obtain money in exchange for preventing the release of chat messages involving senior officials in the government of Puerto Rico.
According to court documents, in June 2019, Sixto Jorge Díaz Colón, 54, of San Juan, attempted to extort a public official in the government of Puerto Rico. Díaz Colón attempted to secure a $300,000 payment and other things of value from the official in exchange for the assurance that a third-party would not publicly disclose certain messages containing damaging information about various public officials in the government. When approached by the FBI in July 2019, Díaz Colón deleted messages containing information about his involvement in the scheme before surrendering his cellular telephone to the authorities.
