Yesterday, RandySF posted a new poll result showing Aftyn's race will be a photo finish. Then the donations started pouring in. This will come down to the undecideds. Just 5 days to go.

Thanks to RandySF: A new Emerson/The Hill survey of the special election for US Congress in Tennessee’s 7th district finds 48% of voters support Matt Van Epps (R) and 46% support Aftyn Behn (D).

The official amount raised yesterday was $8,954. We have already raised $900 today. We have never raised this kind of $ in a day for a House candidate.

I updated Aftyn's donation page yesterday: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/duforaftyn

One out of three clicks results in a donation. We have had 1,642 clicks. Average donation is $61.31. We have had 526 contributions as of now.

PLEASE give this a K&R to get to the front page, so EVERYBODY can see this!

The chart below shows giving by day since I opened the page.
