The explosion in McEwen wasn’t just a tragedy—it was a heartbreak for an entire community. Parents and siblings went to work and never came home. Tennessee families deserve safety, dignity, and accountability. A job should never cost you your life.

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.

Didn’t realize that the deadly explosion in Tennessee took place in #TN07, which is where the special election is taking place in December.

This is a horrible tragedy. There's a lot left to learn, but if it's a tragedy caused in any part by unsafe working conditions, I hope TN realizes that they can have better. It's time for families over billionaires.

They couldn’t be more different. They each represent two distinct futures for Tennessee. One where billionaires write the laws or one where voters still do. One thing is for certain this race decides who runs Tennessee. We can flip this seat. @aftynbehn.bsky.social

And now, with a special election in Tennessee coming in early December, they may delay her swearing in until after that, hoping the TN seat is won by the Republican.

All the more reason to get out and support @aftynbehn.bsky.social for the win in TN-7.
