Something huge just happened in Tennessee — and it should give every Democrat in America real hope.
In Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District — a district drawn to be safely Republican… A district Trump won by 22 points… A district the GOP spent millions trying to lock down…
Democrat Aftyn Behn came within single digits of winning. Yes — in a Trump +22 seat.
Why? Because even in deep-red districts, voters are fed up. They’re tired of rising costs, broken systems, and a government that works for billionaires instead of working families.
Aftyn Behn ran on feeding kids, fixing roads, and protecting healthcare. She didn’t run away from her values — and voters responded.
She overperformed everywhere. She turned a “safe” Republican seat into a competitive battleground. And that should terrify the GOP.
This is the opening Democrats have been waiting for.
But momentum doesn’t sustain itself. It’s built — with organizing, outreach, and the grassroots support that powers everything we do. The 2026 midterms start now.
If we want to flip seats like this — if we want a Democratic majority that actually fights for working people — we need everyone in this fight from day one. Will you chip in today to help Building Blue turn this momentum into a wave in 2026?
We’re proving that Democrats can compete — and win — anywhere.
Let’s build on this momentum and take back Congress for the people.
– Team Building Blue
