A VOTE FOR ME IS A VOTE TO RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES

Tennessee just moved to certify our Dec. 2 election 3 days after polls close — an unprecedented rush that could decide whether the Epstein files are released. I’ll vote to release them... my opponent will not.

In 1992, Gov Clinton ran an ad calling out the George Bush administration for selling out manufacturing jobs to foreign actors… today @aftynbehn.bsky.social has the same opportunity to reach those voters and remind them why they’re still important and matter. Feed Kids. Fix Roads. Fund Hospitals.

Bill Clinton's 1992 ad: 'Morning' in Decaturville, Tenn.

Bill Clinton, then the 1992 Democratic presidential nominee, featured Decaturville, Tenn., in an ad attacking President George H.W. Bush's economic policies.

I am a born and raised Decaturville Tennessean. My momma is a housekeeper of a nursing home in Aftyn’s district. We have to do everything we can to send this incredible person to my current city in DC but we can’t do it without you.

The dumbest possible people are making decisions that are causing incredible reputational harm to the US, and actual harm to its citizens.

The Trump administration on Saturday scrambled to rescind layoffs of hundreds of CDC scientists who were mistakenly fired on Friday night in what appeared to be a substantial procedural lapse.

We have our nominee! Tennesseeans have a rare opportunity to send one more Democrat to Washington in December. From Broadway to Decaturville, TN… I know Aftyn will represent all Tennesseans! Consider donating to her today and flip this damn seat.

If you ever want a lesson on what SecDef is suppose to look and act like… watch the documentary “Fog of War” with Robert McNamara.

Don’t sleep on the this special election in the 7th Congressional District of Tennessee…. Early primary votes are 50.52 (R) vs 49.48% (D). Organize Davidson County and Montgomery (Fort Campbell) and you have a toss up race at hand.

Remember how Kamala was beat up for the $750 for NC and that we were spending all this $$$ on Ukraine? Turn the fucking tables on these fools.

Just remember in the face of authoritarianism there are 75 million other Americans who share your views and perception of what America is… that is no small number.

You wanna know what frustrates me with Democrats? We’ve lost our core beliefs in the working class. Income inequality is the root cause of almost every existential crisis our nation faces right now.

Since the election last year, I have cut off most of my family (including my right wing Christian brother) with the exception for my parents. I have no regrets.

Tennessee has an opportunity to change the course of the country. Bo Mitchell is taking the Andy Beshear playbook for Kentucky and taking it right to rural Tennessee.
