Aftyn Behn

Aftyn has been a strong advocate for working people, and her record reflects the values we fight for every day: protecting workers’ rights, strengthening collective bargaining, expanding access to healthcare, and ensuring that families can earn a fair wage in safe, stable jobs. She understands the challenges facing working Tennesseans, and we believe she will continue to be a powerful voice for labor in Congress.

PDA is proud to announce our endorsement of Aftyn Behn for Congress. Aftyn is a true champion of the people, who has become one of Tennessee’s leading advocates for working people since she was elected to the State House representing her community in Nashville. Now, Aftyn is running for US Congress in the special election to fill the vacancy in the 7th District, created when Rep. Mark Green abruptly resigned following his vote against Trump’s budget.

Aftyn Behn is a proven fighter for the people of Tennessee. From her work as a community organizer to her tenure in the state House, Aftyn has devoted herself to taking on corporate power, bringing costs down and making sure every family has a fair shot. Aftyn understands that progressive values are centered on building a strong community and ensuring everyone has a voice. We are proud to stand with her during this historic opportunity to bring a true people’s champion to Congress.
