Former GOP Rep. Mark Green’s resignation in July triggered a special election for Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District, a longtime Republican seat that President Donald Trump carried by 22 points in the 2024 election. Still, millions of dollars from both parties flowed into the district ahead of the special election.
Republican Matt Van Epps, a former state official, and Democratic state Rep. Aftyn Behn won their parties’ special primaries in October, with Van Epps beating a broad GOP field with the help of a late Trump endorsement.
