Aftyn Behn is a community organizer, a social worker, and the Democratic representative for District 51 in the Tennessee House of Representatives. We will be supporting her campaign this Fall for the TN special election.

Here is more about Rep. Behn from the campaign:

“A pissed-off social worker, Aftyn has seen firsthand how broken systems fail the very people they’re meant to protect. She’s now running for Congress after the so-called “Big, Beautiful Bill” passed — a giveaway to the wealthy that codified the largest transfer of wealth from working people to the rich in American history.

She has helped pass federal legislation to rebuild distressed rural and small-town economies. In the Tennessee legislature, she’s led the fight to eliminate the state’s grocery tax and put money back in people’s pockets.

Every step of the way, she’s fought to keep our families safe, standing up to those who siphon wealth from our neighborhoods while stripping away our freedoms. And throughout her career, she’s fought to shift power away from corporate special interests and corrupt politicians — and put it back where it belongs: in the hands of the communities that make Tennessee and this country strong.”
