Please dont click away from this important message.
Well get right to the point: Aftyn Behn is running in the TN-07 special election Democrats last chance to flip a seat in 2025.
After this election, we might not get another chance to flip a seat until 2026, and with Republicans in Congress hurting Tennesseans every chance they get, we cant afford to wait that long.
If everyone reading this email chipped in just $10, we would have the resources to fight back with the most competitive campaign possible.
But the reality is, most people dont donate. 99% of the people who get this email wont chip in. Were counting on the other 1% of readers to lean in and help us flip this district.
If electing an organizer, state rep, and pissed-off social worker running a grassroots campaign is worth $10 to you, please:
Chip in to Aftyns campaign before it's too late.
If you've stored your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will process now.
Thank you,
Team Behn
A pissed-off social worker, Aftyn has seen firsthand how broken systems fail the very people theyre meant to protect. Shes now running for Congress after the so-called Big, Beautiful Bill passed a giveaway to the wealthy that codified the largest transfer of wealth from working people to the rich in American history.
Throughout her career, shes fought to shift power away from corporate special interests and corrupt politicians and put it back where it belongs: in the hands of the communities that make Tennessee and this country strong.

Send this mail to the people hurt by their own votes.
Tell them how they were hurt by their own votes.
Ask them, if they have any decency whatsoever, to contribute to the fix for that hurt.
Don't send it to me 2/3 of the country away.
Foreign money is supposed to be illegal.
I consider California money foreign to Tennessee.
AND QUIT DISTURBING ME AT 4am WITH YOUR F***ING TEXTS.
