A Practical Choice: Aftyn Behn
Tomorrow: Tuesday, December 2 — your last chance this year to make your voice heard in the special election.
Endorsement: If you live in Tennessee Congressional District 7, we urge you to VOTE for AFTYN!
Aftyn is a social worker and a state legislator. She understands that politics is personal, and it is time … past time … to make the American government work for everyday people, not just the billionaires.
Aftyn is from Nashville. As a social worker, she is well aware of how rising grocery prices and healthcare costs are affecting working-class people.
For health care costs — if Republicans get their way, Tennesseans with insurance through the ACA will see their costs skyrocket. The Tennessean reports a 15% increase, and for those relying on the ACA Marketplace, such as a typical family of four earning $64,000, premiums could rise by about $2,600 annually.
This is because Trump’s BIG BEAUTIFUL BILL (BBB) removes the healthcare tax credits for working people and shifts the money to “BIG BEAUTIFUL TAX BREAKS” for billionaires. Republicans unite to support this change.
See the difference in candidate positions:
AFTYN BEHN opposes this change, saying, “Making living affordable again,” … “For my generation and Tennesseans, and especially those living in the 7th congressional district, life is simply unaffordable.”
Her opponent — Trump-endorsed Republican MATT VAN EPPS, promised right from the start, pledging, “In Congress, I’ll stand shoulder to shoulder with President Trump to advance our America First agenda.”
For the working-class, American First means Working-Class Last!
Time is short … Tennessee needs Aftyn!
