Senator Marsha Blackburn didn’t mince words on Wake Up America when she warned that Aftyn Behn’s agenda is completely out of step with the people of Tennessee, and conservatives should take that warning seriously. Blackburn, who has a long record of fighting for Tennessee values in Washington, put a bright spotlight on how Behn’s progressive positions clash with Middle Tennessee’s common-sense priorities.
This special election for Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District has become a must-watch fight for freedom — the race between Republican Matt Van Epps and Democrat Aftyn Behn will be decided on December 2, 2025, to fill the seat vacated by Rep. Mark Green. Voters in this historically red district are being asked to choose between a proven conservative message of security, fiscal sanity, and parental rights and a Democrat whose positions are being sold as radical by Republican leaders.
Make no mistake: Democrat operatives have poured money and national attention into Behn’s bid because they see an opportunity to chip away at our House majority, and internal polling shows the race tightening — a stark reminder that complacency is dangerous. Behn’s rise from the statehouse to the national donor lists means she’s far from a small-town candidate; she’s a vehicle for far-left priorities that won’t reflect Middle Tennessee’s values if elected.
Blackburn’s message is simple and patriotic: Tennesseans deserve representatives who defend parents, protect law enforcement, and stand up to the Washington spending machine. She’s right to call out the disconnect between Behn’s rhetoric and the daily concerns of working families — and conservatives should echo that message loudly in homes, churches, and town halls across the district.
This contest matters well beyond Tennessee. National players, including former President Trump, have staked political capital in the race, and the outcome could tip the balance in a narrowly divided House, making every conservative vote precious. If Republicans allow a blue tidal wave in a Trump +22 district, it will signal weakness and invite more radical initiatives out of the House chamber.
Patriots in Tennessee should treat December 2nd like the turning point it could be: turn out, hold the line, and reject politicians who peddle coastal agendas that ignore neighborhood concerns. This is about protecting kids, safeguarding neighborhoods, and keeping power where it belongs — with the people, not a progressive experiment in Nashville.
