Congratulations!! Such an important win. And I love your positive message about what Democrats will DO when they take the house. All the wise strategists will tell you to focus on that--and you should. But you can still say, "A vote for Van Epps is a vote for Trump" at every event!!!

Way to go TN7 voters. We got a splendid candidate. Now comes the next battle. She is going to need all of us to lift together to put her in office in an R22 district. It can and must be done. Everyone off the bench to vote Tuesday Dec 2.

An interesting observation from @donnermaps.bsky.social: Compared to the 2024 primaries in #TN07 (which were both uncontested), Dem turnout increased 38% while GOP turnout increased by a smaller 15%.

Overall, GOP turnout was 36,854, Dem turnout was 31,002.

It's not even my district, and yet here I am watching results come in while pulling for @aftynbehn.bsky.social to roll on to victory in the primary.

I'll take any solid sign that changes are coming, even if vicariously.

For the last video before results come in, I wanted to honor Makayla Hubbard—a firefighter from Clarksville whose family has stood with me from day one. This campaign is for anyone who still believes Tennessee is worth fighting for and worth staying for

And state Rep. Aftyn Behn wins the (much closer) Dem primary. She'll face off against Republican Matt Van Epps on Dec. 2.

#TN07 is a very conservative district, but Dems hope that the GOP's gerrymander, which added part of Nashville, will boost them. Also keep an eye on Montgomery Co.
