Days of Action to Support Aftyn Behn for Congress

  • LEBANON WILSON COUNTY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE (map)

Tennessee has a Republican Supermajority. We have got to change this! The 7th Congressional District race is one way we can! The odds are good that TN can flip this seat, but it is going to take some man power! Wilson County is committed to helping District 7, so we have created two opportunities to volunteer. Join us on Nov 10th for phone-banking, Nov 15th for canvassing, or both!
