Heading into the final few weeks of the seventh congressional district special election voters are increasingly finding their mailboxes crammed full with efforts to win their votes. And don’t think you can hide in your house and turn off the TV to avoid the political chaos: door knockers are out in full force as well.
Republicans are sounding the alarm bells that Democrats are trying to steal a “red” seat. Aftyn Behn seems to underline their message as she claims “the whole country is watching” as her team seeks to move the seat into the “blue” column.
An out of state PAC from Delaware called “Your Community PAC” is targeting conservative voters to pull them to a third-party independent candidate.
The Wilmington address has some suspecting that Biden money may be behind the effort to pull a few conservative votes away from Matt Van Epps. Independent Jon Thorp even uses helicopter imagery similar to Epps in order to confuse vote voters.
Thorp’s candidacy is clearly driven by left-wing mischief makers. The source of his website is NXTGen Agency. Their own website claims:
“We are passionate about championing causes that matter, from racial justice and LGBTQ+ rights to climate action and gender equity.”
Not exactly the agenda of a team promoting an actual conservative candidate for office at any level, much less in a conservative congressional district in Tennessee.
Meanwhile, the national leftist media is doing all they can to help raise Behn’s profile and national fundraising. She appeared on MSNBC this week for a fawning propaganda interview as she trumpeted the same issues Democrats are using nationally to attack Trump.
As Republicans are warning, Democrats are doing everything they can to move a reliably “red” seat to their side of the aisle. Low voter turnout could make their dreams come true.
Early voting in the election continues through November 26. The election date is December 2.
Early votes cast through Saturday November 15 totaled 20,359. So far, about 25% (5,200) I have come from Davidson County. Another 5,146 votes have come from Montgomery County, also about 25% of the total.
