Aftyn Behn, a young progressive, has a lot of talent and grit.  Shes been organizing in Tn for many years and shes running for Dist 7 seat which Mark Green quit.  She is currently a state representative so she knows how to win in a red state.
In a meeting with her and her team last week we asked her what she needs.  Money is #1.  National money. There arent rich Dems in this part of the country annd she isnt taking PAC money. Omaha Steve put a link to her ActBlue account in his pinned post at the top of General Discussion page.  Remote phone banking will also help.  You can do this from anywhere.
Jasmine Crockett is coming in for a day to do what she can, too.  People from Red Wine & Blue as well as lots of Indivisible people will be swarming.  Its important that we dont just give up because this is a red state.  Aftyn is a fighter!
Wouldnt it be fantastic if we could pull this off?  An unexpected seat for Dems?  Aftyn is the kind of person that could sneak in and win this race!
The election is DECEMBER 2.  That is only a month away.  Millions $ have come in for the republican.  We need to really up the money game cause she isnt taking PAC money.
Heres her FB info which has all her other info plus videos.  Ive been here 21 years on DU and I know yall will really like her!  https://www.facebook.com/AftynBehn4TN

(6,827 posts)in DC. Theres just so little time to get big names out. Jasmine Crockett will be here on Nov 7 for a joint town hall. Im keeping my fingers crossed to get big names involved so the national money might come in.
