Tennessee GOP panics over CD7 special election on December 2nd


Headline:  The Downballot, 11/24/2025

 David Nir and Jeff Singer report:
The Associated Press reports that a trio of conservative organizations—MAGA Inc., Conservatives for American Excellence, and the Club for Growth—have together invested close to $2 million to aid Van Epps. 
He could use the help, because new disclosures show that Behn nearly lapped Van Epps in fundraising during the most recent reporting period. Between Oct. 1 and Nov. 12 (a period that included both parties’ Oct. 7 primaries), Behn brought in just over $1 million, while Van Epps was well behind with a $591,000 haul. 
Since the primary, Behn outspent Van Epps by around $500,000 to $400,000. She also had more than twice as much cash left over for the stretch run, with a stockpile of more than $520,000, versus a little over $230,000 for Van Epps. 
This is not even the first time this year, though, that Republicans have panicked about a special election for a House seat they shouldn’t otherwise have needed to worry about[emphasis added
