TN-CD7 Aftyn Behn (D) shifts red votes in early voting

After 2 days early voting:
Van Epps (R) 52.13%
Behn (D) 47.76%

This district is very red (R+22 in ‘24). So far, it’s a shift of 17.08% toward Behn!

Also, a headline from Axios “Democrats inject "Epstein files" into special election that's scaring GOP”
snip: 👀 🚨 AXIOS ON THE TN-7 RACE: “Republicans are racing to avoid an upset in Tennessee, where Democrats hope President Trump's opposition to releasing the Epstein files will help them splinter the conservative vote in a special election on Dec. 2.”

Yes, she still needs money! Bezos money is coming in big time as well as other billionaire money for the repub to save this close race. https://secure.actblue.com/donate/duforaftyn/

Yes, it’s early but we’re working hard to flip this seat!

HELP Tennessee flip a national House seat from red to BLUE!

Aftyn Behn, a young progressive, has a lot of talent and grit. She’s been organizing in Tn for many years and she’s running for Dist 7 seat which Mark Green quit. She is currently a state representative so she knows how to win in a red state.

In a meeting with her and her team last week we asked her what she needs. Money is #1. National money. There aren’t rich Dems in this part of the country annd she isn’t taking PAC money. Omaha Steve put a link to her ActBlue account in his pinned post at the top of General Discussion page. Remote phone banking will also help. You can do this from anywhere.

Jasmine Crockett is coming in for a day to do what she can, too. People from Red Wine & Blue as well as lots of Indivisible people will be swarming. It’s important that we don’t just give up because this is a red state. Aftyn is a fighter!

Wouldn’t it be fantastic if we could pull this off? An unexpected seat for Dems? Aftyn is the kind of person that could sneak in and win this race!

The election is DECEMBER 2. That is only a month away. Millions $ have come in for the republican. We need to really up the money game cause she isn’t taking PAC money.

Here’s her FB info which has all her other info plus videos. I’ve been here 21 years on DU and I know y’all will really like her! https://www.facebook.com/AftynBehn4TN
