TN-07: 'It's all about turnout:' What to expect in Tennessee's 7th District special election [View all]

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — After months of political advertisements and campaign signs throughout Middle Tennessee, all attention turns to what political observers are calling a surprisingly competitive race in a historically Republican district.

A specially-called election will take place Tuesday in Tennessee's 7th Congressional District, where Republican Matt Van Epps, Democrat Aftyn Behn and several independent candidates are competing to replace former Rep. Mark Green in Congress.

Both leading candidates maintained aggressive schedules on their final day of campaigning Monday. Van Epps brought in high-profile Republican supporters including House Speaker Mike Johnson and President Donald Trump, who called into a Monday morning rally. "Let's make it a sweeping victory," Trump said during the phone call to Van Epps supporters.

"We're fighting for working families, for farmers, for military and veterans to make it easier and better for them," Van Epps said at his Monday morning get-out-the-vote rally in Franklin.
