Why The Loyal Opposition?

We stand opposed to the supermajority and the ironically-named Sumner County Constitutional Republicans while remaining loyal to the Tennessee and United States Constitutions.

We are a voice for the people of Sumner County and beyond who have been left behind by many of our elected officials, a voice rarely heard today in local media. We are hard-hitting but fair - opinionated but backed up with facts and expert testimony.

We welcome the opportunity to partner with like-minded individuals and organizations.

Our mission is to be the catalyst for positive change in our community by telling "the other half of the story."
