Tierney Cahill Biography

Tierney Cahill, a mother of three and a sixth-grade teacher at Sarah Winnemucca Elementary School in Reno, Nevada, did not anticipate becoming political. But after giving her kids a brief civics lecture on how elections and the government operate, her expectations were altered. After she informed her pupils that any American may run for office, they objected, saying they didn't think regular citizens could be a genuine contenders. They pushed her to demonstrate that regular people can run for office, so she committed to doing so in order to motivate her kids. She is now campaigning for the District 2 Congressional seat. To her astonishment, Cahill, who ran as a Democrat, defeated the other Democrats to challenge Republican incumbent Jim Gibbons. Even though she had a limited budget for her campaign, she poured herself into it entirely, speaking about the crucial topics of nuclear waste, mental health, and education. Despite having a far smaller campaign expenditure than Gibbons ($7000 vs. $320,000), Cahill unexpectedly garnered 34% of the vote. Despite losing, she was successful in inspiring civic responsibility in her students. Think about why we did this and what we did, she instructed her pupils as they sobbed next to her on election night.
