Meet Ditch,
Your Next tn Governor!

My name is Adam Kurtz, though my friends call me “Ditch” – and so can you.

Ever get tired of the same ole playbook? Why don’t we try something new and bold, in order to take back Tennessee for those of us who want a government with humanity and compassion? Let’s focus on what we can do looking forward to improve the life of every Tennessean.

I’m a musician on a mission. I live in Nashville with my dog Zebulon. I play pedal steel guitar and 6-string guitar in bands all around the country, and world.

I am running for Governor of Tennessee.

I want a government that helps you, not hurts you. Works for you instead of against you. Is fair and just, not corrupt.

My goal is simply to make your life better. I want to lower costs (affordable healthcare, free pre-K child care, eliminate grocery tax) and improve your quality of life (raise minimum wage, support workers rights). We should lift up the floor.

I want every Tennessean to be safe – that means protecting the LGBTQ community, it means respecting our immigrant neighbors, it means investing heavily in our public schools. I want a government that is truly on your side, on your team, fighting FOR you instead of taking FROM you.

Government is supposed to be BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE. Well… I’M A PEOPLE!

We can keep electing corrupt and wealthy businessmen or career politicians who have no idea what it’s like to work for a living and struggle to make ends meet. Or, we can try something totally new.

It’s time to break the cycle.
It’s time to build the future.

This will be the grassiest grassroots campaign of all time. We will not accept corporate money. Instead, we rely on YOU - the small donors. Isn’t it time we had integrity in the State House? I have this funny thing about corruption: I don’t like it. I’m not running for Governor in order to enrich myself. I want to help people in Tennessee.

Please consider a donation or getting some of our “I’m a People” merch to support. Every little bit helps.

do you dig ditch?
