Voters in Tennessee's 7th Congressional District are casting ballots to decide who will succeed U.S. Rep. Mark Green in a rare December election marked by millions in donations from political action committees for both sides.
Republican ads depict Democrat Aftyn Behn as a "radical disaster" with an "agenda that Tennessee cannot afford."
Behn said in a social media post that her campaign is about affordability. She attacks Republican policies on health care and taxes more than she goes after her opponent, Matt Van Epps, former commissioner of the Tennessee Department of General Services.
Next Tuesday's race is drawing national attention, especially since the surprise resignation of U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene will in January trim the already thin Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives.
