Allie Phillips

Democratic

Work: Runs an in-home daycare in Clarksville

Allie Phillips runs a daycare out of her house in Clarksville, caring for four children during the week. She entered politics after Tennessee's abortion law meant she could not end a nonviable pregnancy in the state, and she campaigns on abortion rights, gun safety and education. She ran for the same District 75 seat in 2024, when the chair of the Montgomery County Democrats recruited her to run against the incumbent Republican, Jeff Burkhart.
