The Shelby County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to reinstate state Rep. Justin Pearson, who was expelled by the GOP supermajority for joining gun control protesters after a school shooting. The vote was met with cheers and applause from a packed crowd, and Pearson said "You can't expel our voice, and you sure can't expel our fight." Pearson and fellow Tennessee House Democrat Justin Jones were both reinstated, a victory for gun control advocates who have been pushing for stricter gun laws.
