    • Indivisible on the TN-07 Election Results: ‘Aftyn closed the gap by 13 points. Extrapolate that out.’

    Dec 2, 2025

    Washington, D.C. — Today, Indivisible’s co-executive director Ezra Levin released the following statement in response to Aftyn Behn’s narrow loss in the TN-07 special election:

    “I am so proud that an Indivisible alum – our first Tennessee organizer and the founder of Indivisible’s national raucous rural caucus ran such an incredible, history-making campaign. She inspired Tennesseans and pro-democracy Americans across the country. And she scared the bejesus out of this regime and Republican operatives. The millions in outside spending, the frantic Trump truth social posts, the dirt dumps – they had to pull out all the stops to save a Trump +22 district from Aftyn Behn.

    “Aftyn closed the gap by 13 points. Extrapolate that out. A 13 point swing next year would translate into landslide victory of 258 Democrats in the House, and taking back the Senate. It would mean Democratic senators from Michigan to Ohio to Iowa to North Carolina to Maine. It would be a generational realignment election.

    “Aftyn is an inspiration now and she’s pointing the way to what’s to come. People are hungry for leaders who will fight for affordable healthcare, hold corporate power accountable, and unrig a system that’s failed working families. This is a message that Democrats would be smart to embrace in districts of every shade of blue, red, and purple.

    Indivisible’s Impact:

    • Indivisible’s made over 300,000 dials into the district through the Scale to Win program.
    • Indivisible sent over 126,000 texts to voters across the district through it’s Peer2Peer and relational texting programs.
    • Indivisible placed 9 billboards across Clarksville and Nashville for the final three weeks leading up to the election.
