NASHVILLE — On Election Day, Tennessee Democrats won six State House seats and one Congressional seat. These victories follow over a year of the Tennessee Democratic Party making historic investments in the people and infrastructure it takes to compete and win:
-
470,614 doors knocked this cycle by Tennessee Democrats.
-
600+ new Tennessee organizers trained through their first-of-its-kind TNDP Organizing Hub training.
-
Won nearly 40 local seats, including county commission, city council, and school board seats.
-
Flipped eight counties from red to blue.
-
500+ TNDP poll watchers trained and certified through their historic TNDP Voter Protection Program.
-
All 95 counties with an organized and active local Democratic Party for the first time in decades.
-
More candidates recruited and supported, competing in districts Democrats had left uncontested for years.
“These victories didn’t happen by accident. They happened because Tennessee Democrats put in the work, from our candidates and caucuses to our county parties, organizers, and volunteers across the state,” said Rachel Campbell, Tennessee Democratic Party Chair. “Tennessee Republicans thought division, distractions, and consolidation of power would keep Tennessee out of reach. Voters proved them wrong. We know what it takes to win because we’ve spent the last several years building it. And on November 3rd, Tennessee Democrats sent a powerful message: we’re here, we’re fighting, we’re winning, and we’re just getting started.”
