Testimonials

<p>Ann Yates- 75-YEAR-OLD Senior</p>

“I have watched this impeccable woman give back to the community unselfishly, with such grace and poise. She is certainly a person who cares for people regardless of race, nationality, ethnicity, disability, or social status. She truly loves people. We need a Governor with these attributes.”

Ann Yates- 75-YEAR-OLD Senior

<p>Lisa Corbett</p>

"Dr. Atwater is the epitome of what I feel God wants us to be. I have seen her give children and elders living in poverty clothing, toys, food, blankets, books, heaters, and coats by the truckload. This is the type of leader that we need as our next Governor of the State of Tennessee."

Lisa Corbett

<p>FRIENDS OF SHARON Garter</p>

"Day one, when I met her, she opened her arms to me as if she had known me for decades. Tennessee needs a good old-fashioned Governor that knows how to treat people. Dr. Carnita Atwater is a person who rolls the red carpet out for a total stranger, and that is rare in this day and time."

FRIENDS OF SHARON Garter

<p>Homeless Person -Unnamed for Privacy</p>

"I am a homeless veteran, and I probably would be dead on these streets if it were not for her. This little lady has been taking care of me for over five years, and she sometimes sleeps out on the streets with us. I have never seen this kind of love in my life, and she is running for Governor. Hell, we need her yesterday! Most politicians will tell you anything, but she is a woman of her word. We used to think she was lying until she would come back and bring us food and clean clothing."

Homeless Person -Unnamed for Privacy

<p>Troy "Bob" Jones</p>

"I was living on the streets using drugs, and she gave me a choice. Either get treatment, or she was going to call the police. I was in an all-black neighborhood, and I could have been killed. For the next six months, she watched me like a hawk. She gave me a job and purchased food and clothing for me. Then, to my surprise, she gave me a house to live in for free until I could get on my feet. I called my parents, and they could not believe it. I am from Ohio, and I never knew people could be this nice. Now, she is running for Governor, and she will get my vote!"

Troy "Bob" Jones

<p>Jim Crockett </p>

"I almost lost my family farm until Miss Carnita stepped in to help me save it. She and my dad were friends for years. Her 100-acre farm was up the street on North Watkins, and our 18-acre farm was located in Northaven about five miles up the road. My dad passed away, and I was in financial ruin. She let me use her brand-new air-conditioned tractor, donated seeds, gave me five goats, and a bunch of chickens. She took me to the USDA Office to apply for a small farm loan. Every day, she would come to see if I was working, and at the time, I really did not want to deal with her, but she never gave up on me. I guess I was suffering from depression. Every day, she would tell me, we farmers stick together no matter what the weather. This lady has a heart of gold, and she would definitely make a good Governor for all of us. She got my vote."

Jim Crockett

<p>Isabella Gomez</p>

"I came to Tennessee by way of the military, where my fiancé was at Fort Campbell - 101st Airborne. I was in Walmart crying because I had no food and no place to stay. This stranger came up to me and said what is wrong? I told her, and she said, stop crying. I will help you. She let me come live with her for almost nine months until I could find a job. She also gave me a down payment on my first car. She taught me how to read better. I have a good job as a cosmetologist now, and I know she would make an excellent Governor."

Isabella Gomez

<p>Tay driskell</p>

"If it were not for Ms. Atwater, I would probably not have graduated or would have been dead. This lady kept all of us in New Chicago straight. She was so nice to us, but she played no games. I remember some of the boys would tell her that they were in gangs. She would say the only gang you are in is the Atwater's Gang. She was like a second mother to us. She took us out of town to cities we probably wouldn't have been able to go to. She exposed us to things that we had no idea existed, like museums, car shows, fishing, and hiking. She even created our bad tail jobs for the summer. She started an Afri-Ballerina Program in the hood for us. When my mother's lights would get cut off, she would pay for the lights to be turned back on. I am a clothing designer now, all thanks to Ms. Atwater. She used to say that I was her shame baby. Thank you, Miss Atwater. I cannot wait to vote for you!"

Tay driskell

<p>FRIENDS OF SHARON Garter</p>

"I can appreciate a woman like you as the next Governor because you know how to handle a veteran. I love how dignified and professional you carry yourself. On top of that, you are a walking encyclopedia. I have never met a person who can speak on so many variations of topics. You definitely would be a Governor who thinks on her feet. I like the idea that you are a former Military Officer's wife who had your own career, and that speaks to leadership. Best wishes, and I hope you win, Governor of the State of Tennessee."

FRIENDS OF SHARON Garter

<p>Child Mentee -15 year old activist</p>

"Words cannot express how grateful I am that you came into my life. You have known me since I was a little girl. When I could not talk to anyone else, you took the time to listen to me. You shared with me what it is to be a girl with big dreams. I watched how you sacrificed for other children and me when you could have been enjoying your own life. You taught me how to be kind and treat people right. Even though I had a quick temper, you could always calm me down. As many of us have grown up, we often talked about you. Thank you for believing in me. I am an activist because of you. I am telling everybody I know to vote for you."

<p>Gun VIOLENCE VICTIM -Unnamed for Privacy</p>

"I will never forget the day when I was shot. You never gave up on me. There were days when I wanted to give up, and you kept telling me that I had better days ahead. You have always tried to talk some sense into me, but I was hard-headed. I found myself with bullets riddled throughout my body, living in those streets, and I am in a wheelchair for life. In a nutshell, Ms. Atwater, you are the reason that I am living today. You were the Mom I did not have. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I hope you are my next Governor because none of the others have looked out for me and my hood."

Gun VIOLENCE VICTIM -Unnamed for Privacy

<p>James Hall</p>

"This young lady is a phenomenal woman". When my sister, who lived in another state, passed away, Dr. Atwater purchased two first-class tickets so that my wife and I could attend the funeral of our loved one. I never met a person with such a kind heart toward strangers. My wife and I love her unconditionally today, and we are voting for this rare individual who would make a wonderful Governor. She loves everybody!

James Hall

<p>Johnathan Isom Jr.</p>

"This lady cares about young people. We needed a place to meet for our first group meeting, and she allowed us to meet at her place for free. She prepared the food while we set up the event hall. At another meeting, she brought food and beverages to me to distribute in the Westwood community. She indeed is a future Governor for the people."

Johnathan Isom Jr.

<p>Unnamed due to street affiliations</p>

"I would have been dead if it were not for Ms. Atwater. Even though she would always get on me for misbehaving, she always loved me, gave me gas money to get to a job, and purchased food for me. I made bad choices in life, and she was still there trying to work with me."

Unnamed due to street affiliations

<p>Phyllis walls Jordan</p>

"As a member of the African Methodist Episcopal Church family, I have witnessed the heart of this public servant. She donated 50 bicycles to children, purchased laptops for college students, and donated over 100 coats to underserved children. She donated over $7,000 to repair the church roof without any recognition. The only way I knew about this was at a meeting that was held, and her name was revealed. She has always been kind and behind the scenes. God bless you, Dr. Atwater. You would make an extraordinary Governor."

Phyllis walls Jordan

<p>Kita Woods</p>

"Miss Atwater is so sweet. She used to take all the kids in the neighborhood on trips. She created an Afri-Ballerina program for over 125 children who would never have been exposed to ballet. She purchased all the ballet attire and trained each child in ballet techniques. I can't wait to vote for her as my Governor. Thank you, Miss Atwater."

Kita Woods

<p>Maria Renee White</p>

"My Mom took me in when I was three years old. Even though I am a mixed-race person, she always found the time to teach me how special I was as a person with mixed heritage. I am the best human being because of her and the love she poured into me. It was not easy growing up because I did not know where I belonged, but she made sure I was loved unconditionally. Thank you for being the best Mom ever. You did not birth me, but you raised me to be the woman I am today. I pray that you win this election."

Maria Renee White

<p>UNNAMED due to incident</p>

"Ms. Atwater has been my world. I never met a person like her in my entire life. Living in this wheelchair, I cannot begin to explain my gratitude to this wonderful person who loves everybody. I never saw her be mean to anybody. She has already been like a Governor to the whole of Memphis. From feeding children, the elderly, strangers, and homeless people."

UNNAMED due to incident

<p>Brandy Price (Salamander)</p>

"From day one, when I met Dr. Atwater, she embraced me as a transgender person. She has always been so loving and kind to me. When my brother passed away, she had taken me to a store to buy a garment and shoes to wear to my brother's funeral. She will definitely be a Governor of the people. She has always supported the LGBTQIA+ community."
