Pamela Moses, former Memphis mayoral candidate, indicates run for U.S. Senate – Tennessee Lookout
Pamela Moses, a Black Lives Matter activist and former candidate for Memphis mayor who was jailed for voter fraud — on charges that were later dropped — has registered a campaign committee with the Federal Election Commission, indicating a run for U.S. Senate.
“Pamela Moses is running for the Soul of Democracy, championing the cause of those who are often forgotten and underserved in our society. Her commitment to inclusivity and ensuring that all voices are heard sets her apart in a landscape often dominated by politricks,” said Moses in a written statement.
Moses made national news when former Shelby County District Attorney Amy Weirich charged her with voter fraud for attempting to restore her right to vote — which was revoked while she was on probation from prior felony convictions. Moses was sentenced to six years in prison in January 2022 and in April of the same year, Weirich dropped all charges after a judge found the Tennessee Department of Correction had withheld evidence that would have exonerated Moses.
According to the FEC filing for the Committee to Elect Pamela Moses, Moses will run as an independent candidate for the U.S. Senate seat held by Republican Marsha Blackburn. State Rep. Gloria Johnson of Knoxville and Civil Miller-Watkins of Fayette County have filed to run as Democrats.
The general election will be Nov. 5, 2024.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WSMV) – We’re experiencing our hottest weather since summer 2025.
The hottest weather of the year is having a major impact on Middle Tennesseans. Temperatures have soared well above average during the afternoon and remained unusually high at night for several days. That’s caused thousands across Middle Tennessee and southern Kentucky to temporarily change the way they go about everyday life. The heat has been so significant that temperatures have actually been in record territory.
For example, this past Sunday, Nashville nearly tied the highest minimum temperature ever for the date — 80° set in 1936. Nashville’s low on Sunday was 79.
As for high temperatures, while it was easily the hottest day of the year on Tuesday, Nashville missed that day’s record by nine degrees.
We’ll be closer on Wednesday, missing it by just six degrees.
There’s an even closer approach in line for Thursday. Our forecast for Nashville is 98°. The record high temperature is 101.
Cooler weather will eventually take over. By early next week, we expect highs to return to more seasonable levels — the low 90s.

Former Tennessee baseball pitcher Garrett Stallings was called up by the Milwaukee Brewers on June 30.
Stallings, 28, likely will make his major league debut against the Cincinnati Reds on June 30 in the second game of the Brewers’ four-game homestand.
Stallings played at Tennessee from 2017 to 2019 in the early years of Tony Vitello’s stint at the Vols’ head coach. He earned a starting role as a freshman and became the ace by his junior season.
In 2019, the Los Angeles Angels selected Stallings in the fifth round of the MLB draft. He bounced around in the minors before landing firmly in Triple-A with the Norfolk Tides, and later the Brewers’ affiliate Nashville Sounds, in 2024.
Stallings posted a 3-3 record with the Sounds in 2026 with a 3.45 ERA and 59 strikeouts in 62⅔ innings.
He will be the 54th player in Tennessee history to reach the major leagues and the 12th since 2020. He will join left-hander Garrett Crochet (2020); right-hander Ben Joyce (2023); infielder Andre Lipcius (2023); IF Trey Lipscomb (2024); outfielder Jordan Beck (2024); RHP Seth Halvorsen (2024); RHP Chase Dollander (2025); RHP Blade Tidwell (2025); INF Christian Moore (2025); OF Drew Gilbert (2025); and RHP Chad Dallas (2026).
Dallas made his debut for the Toronto Blue Jays on June 4.
