Aftyn Behn’s campaign just hit an own goal that every hardworking American should see. In a newly viral audio clip the Democrat congressional hopeful describes a recurring dream in which she stands in a cafeteria full of women and screams, “I don’t want children. I want power.” The rawness of that line — coming from someone asking voters to entrust her with authority — is chilling to anyone who still believes public service is about sacrifice, not self-aggrandizement.
Behn is not a political nobody; she is a sitting Tennessee state representative and the Democratic nominee in the special election to replace Rep. Mark Green in TN-07, a race that could decide whether Democrats try to impose their social agenda on a district that values family and faith. Her rise from activist to candidate matters because voters deserve to know what her priorities are before they fill in a ballot. The fact that this rush for influence comes wrapped in disdain for traditional family life should alarm conservatives and undecided moderates alike.
Listen closely to the clip and you hear the modern left’s contempt for ordinary Americans laid bare: marriage, motherhood, and the very idea of raising the next generation are dismissed as “deeply patriarchal structures.” That line is not just tone-deaf; it betrays a worldview that elevates careerism and raw influence above community, responsibility, and the duties that have held our nation together for generations. If you want leaders who protect family values, you do not elect someone who treats having children as an obstacle to be scorned.
The controversies around Behn don’t stop with uncomfortable dream-speak. Clips and reports also show her discussing training people in so-called self-managed, at-home abortions — a reckless and dangerous idea that substitutes political ideology for medical safety and common sense. Electing officials who glorify medical DIYs and radical positions on life and family is exactly the sort of experiment Americans should reject at the ballot box.
This is part of a pattern: Behn has been a loud activist in Nashville, has sparked blowups over her remarks about the city, and has cultivated an image that plays well to the nationalized, coastal left but poorly to Main Street voters who want representation, not performance art. A candidate who sneers at her own constituents’ culture while chasing power is the last person who should be making laws that affect families, schools, and public safety.
Conservatives should be blunt about what this clip represents: a celebration of power over parenting, of ambition untethered from duty. Our communities succeed when leaders honor commitments to family, faith, and local institutions — not when they parade their contempt for those who choose marriage and children. Behn’s candidacy is a test: will Tennessee choose radical rhetoric or common-sense stewardship?
Hardworking Americans need to show up and vote for candidates who understand service means sacrifice, not domination. If you believe in preserving a future where children are cherished and families are supported, now is the time to make your voice heard and send a clear message that raw lust for power has no place in Washington.
