Claire Jones to face Gino Bulso after primary win in District 61
While Williamson County Republicans had their eye on the primary race for the State House District 65 seat on Aug. 1, Democrats had a competition of their own in the District 61 primary. Claire Jones easily defeated Kurt Kosack in the race to see who will face incumbent Republican representative Gino Bulso in November. “The whole reason I chose to run was with the idea of unseating Gino Bulso,” Jones said after the election. “To me, this just feels like the next step in hopefully getting closer to doing that.” Jones, a nurse and mother fueled partially by what she sees as the state legislature’s inaction after the Covenant shooting, shared most of her platform with her primary opponent.

Tennessee lawmakers send bill to ban first-cousin marriages to governor
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The Republican-led Tennessee Legislature has overwhelmingly voted to send GOP Gov. Bill Lee a proposal that would ban marriage between first cousins. The House cast a 75-2 vote Thursday on the bill after the Senate previously approved it without any opposition. But a particularly vocal opponent, Republican Rep. Gino Bulso, took up most of the debate time, as he argued for an amendment to allow first-cousin marriages if the couple first seeks counseling from a genetic counselor.

Reps. Pressley, Omar Introduce Long COVID Moonshot Bill
WASHINGTON – Today, Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley (MA-07) and Congresswoman Ilhan Omar (MN-05) introduced the Long Covid Research Moonshot Act, which would provide the National Institutes of Health (NIH) with $1 billion in mandatory funding per year for a decade to support studies, the pursuit of treatments, and the expansion of care for U.S. patients impacted by the condition. Senator Bernie Sanders (I-VT) introduced companion legislation last month. “Those experiencing Long COVID have been facing their challenges unheard for far too long, and they deserve a robust federal response that demonstrates that we see them, we have not forgotten about them, and we will not stop fighting to get them the care they need and deserve,” said Congresswoman Pressley. “Our bill builds on previous legislation to invest the resources necessary to confront this crisis head-on and it will help ensure that no one is left out or left behind in our pandemic recovery. I’m grateful to Rep. Omar and our colleagues for their partnership.” “Long COVID is a silent health crisis impacting over twenty-three million Americans, including one million children,” said Rep. Omar. “We must take bold action to help Americans suffering from long COVID. I’m proud to lead this effort in the House with Rep. Pressley to recognize long COVID as the public health emergency that it is and invest in countering the effects of this terrible disease.” “For far too long, millions of Americans suffering from long Covid have had their symptoms dismissed or ignored—by the medical community, by the media, and by Congress,” said Sanders, chair of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP). “That is unacceptable and has got to change. The legislation that we have introduced finally recognizes that long Covid is a public health emergency and provides an historic investment into research, development, and education needed to counter the effects of this terrible disease.” The Long Covid Research Moonshot Act is cosponsored by Reps. Ayanna Pressley (MA-07), Ilhan Omar (MN-05), Eleanor Holmes (DC), Bonnie Watson Coleman (NJ-12), Raul Grijalva (AZ-07), Rashida Tlaib (MI-12), Adam Smith (WA-09), Cori Bush (MO-01), Pramila Jayapal (WA-07), Barbara Lee (CA-12), James P. McGovern (MA-02), Jahana Hayes (CT-05), Nydia M. Velázquez (NY-07), Jamaal Bowman (NY-16), Delia C. Ramirez (IL-03), Gwen Moore (WI-04), Zoe Lofgren (CA-18), Kevin Mullin (CA-15), Maxwell Alejandro Frost (FL-10).
