The Franklin County Democrats spent a bit of time this evening writing postcards and phone banking to remind people that Tennessee has a special election for US Congress and we need to elect @aftynbehn.bsky.social!
We are part of TN7 but she needs all hands on deck.

This election is on Dec. 2nd. Just a few weeks away. If this seat flips the GOP will only have a 3 seat majority in the house and since they don’t believe in vaccinations it could be a very productive flu/covid season for Democrats.

The GOP hold a 6 seat lead in the House. One is in Arizona where a Dem has won but Johnson won’t swear her in. Another is in Texas in a safe Dem district where 2 Democrats must have a runoff that Abbot is refusing to schedule. The 3rd is TN7 where @aftynbehn.bsky.social is going to beat the MAGA!

Tennessee has a special election on December 2nd to fill an empty House seat. Just think, one more Democrat in Congress to narrow that razor thin GOP majority until we clobber them next November. It doesn’t matter if you live in Tennessee, an Aftyn win is a win for everyone.
🚨OUR NEW AD JUST DROPPED 🚨

Washington is giving billionaires the easy ride—while hard-working Tennessean get a rough ride due to bad policies.

I’m running for Congress to change that. Vote for @aftynbehn.bsky.social beginning on Nov. 12 to shake up Washington. Election Dec. 2nd

Now that Dems have shown that WHEN WE FIGHT WE WIN, I’d like to announce that there is one more election on the calendar this year. On Dec 2nd TN 7 will go to the polls to vote in a special election for @aftynbehn.bsky.social!

This seat is flippable! But Aftyn needs your help. Check her out.

Sumner County TN has already had to deal with Riley Gaines and the result was the head librarian in Hendersonville losing his job. Not she’s been put on the library board.

Winchester, TN in rural Franklin County. We had almost 200 enthusiastic participants. Victoria Broderick, congressional candidate for the 4th district spoke. We also combined our rally with a good drive and filled a small SUV with non-perishables.

So I’m sure the Trump administration has appointed and hired a few people who are qualified and competent, but the majority are so bad that having “worked for the Trump administration” on your resume will make it impossible for anyone hiring to ever take you seriously.
