He will delay the vote until after the TN special election first week of December. They are confident the Republican will win that seat, that’s why we need to support Aftyn Behn no matter where you live, help her win that seat!
It may be a long shot, but it may be worth the effort to support Aftyn Behn in the TN07 special election.
