Final tally in this race: 54% of voters pulled Republican ballots, 46% pulled Democratic ballots. That's a significant shift from a year ago. We'll see what happens on election day, December 2.

Something interesting is happening in Tennessee's 7th Congressional district, where there's a special election to fill the seat vacated by Mark Green. He won reelection in 2024 by a margin of 59.5%-38%.

Primary early voting ended yesterday. Only 378 votes separate the parties. 1/

Why should you vote in the TN congressional district 7 primary? Because we need to pick the best person to take on the Republicans and flip this seat. And that person is @aftynbehn.bsky.social! Polls are open til 7p today. Find your polling spot at tnmap.tn.gov/voterlookup/

@wkrnnews2.bsky.social missed an opportunity to educate the public about the maternity care deserts in TN -part of the reason we are the WORST state in the US for maternal mortality.
Glad this couple had a good outcome. For many Tennesseans, tragedy happens when medical care isn’t quickly in reach.

Our grand total for this year's Oktobertest:

🍺 80 people either registered via paper form, checked their voter registration or scanned the QR code to register digitally.

🍺 50+ voters found out they were in CD7 and we convinced them they needed to vote in this election!

Thanks to all our vols!
