Pamela Jeanine "P." Moses

Pamela Jeanine "P." Moses is an independent candidate for U.S. House District 8 in Tennessee ¹⁷. She has also previously run for the U.S. Senate against Marsha Blackburn ¹⁹.

Moses describes herself as a formerly incarcerated and justice-impacted individual who claims her imprisonment was wrongful and resulted from speaking out against corruption, including allegations against a judge ¹⁹. She states that she fought and won a voting rights case in 2022, which restored her ability to run for federal office ¹⁹. Her political platform addresses reparations, affordable housing, climate change, healthcare, and criminal justice reform ¹⁹.

In the context of the 2026 U.S. House District 8 race, Moses filed a federal lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Tennessee to block the state’s new congressional maps from taking effect ¹⁴. The lawsuit names Governor Bill Lee, House Speaker Cameron Sexton, Senate Majority Leader Jack Johnson, and Tennessee Coordinator of Elections Mark Goins as defendants ¹⁴. Moses argues that the mid-election redistricting effort is unconstitutional because lawmakers approved the new maps after candidate filing deadlines had passed ¹⁴. She contends that she spent nearly two years building her campaign under the previous district boundaries, including purchasing voter data and organizing operations, before being notified by election officials that she needed to change districts or withdraw by May 15 ¹⁴. The lawsuit also alleges that the new map splits Shelby County’s minority communities across multiple districts, potentially weakening minority voting power ¹⁴.

Moses lists her contact information as PO Box 80564, Memphis, TN 38108, and phone number 901-329-9992 ¹⁹.
