A newly formed political action committee from Rep. Justin J. Pearson, D-Memphis, has announced that it will donate $100,000 to Van Turner’s Memphis mayoral campaign. The Tennessee Lookout reports that Pearson, who raised about $1 million this year amid international outrage after being expelled from the state House for leading an anti-gun rally on the chamber floor, has about $800,000 left in his state campaign account and is preparing to start using the money to back “progressive” candidates for local and state offices.
