Antonio Futch

Antonio Futch is a Marine Corps veteran, educator, entrepreneur, and Independent candidate for Tennessee’s 8th Congressional District. A Memphis native, he brings experience in military service, education, business, and community leadership to his campaign, Futch For The Future. His main initiative is the Community Network, an effort to connect residents, schools, churches, businesses, and nonprofit organizations with one another and with resources that help families move forward. The network aims to make opportunities easier to find through resource sharing, educational workshops, youth development, business connections, and community events. Guided by five principles—Prepare, Own, Connect, Support, and Preserve—Futch’s work emphasizes practical ways for people to strengthen their families, build economic opportunity, and take an active role in their communities. He believes leadership means bringing people together and turning shared concerns into coordinated action. His message is simple: The future isn’t found. It’s built.
