AFP-TN Congratulates Matt Van Epps on Victory in Special Election for Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District

NASHVILLE – Americans for Prosperity-Tennessee (AFP-TN) congratulates Matt Van Epps on his hard-fought campaign in Tuesday’s special election to represent Tennessee’s 7th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives. Voters across the district, from Williamson County to Dickson County, all the way to parts of Montgomery, chose a leader who will fight for lower taxes, less government spending, and greater individual freedom in Washington.

“Matt Van Epps ran a campaign centered on reining in reckless federal spending and putting hardworking Tennesseans first,” said Tori Venable, State Director for Americans for Prosperity-Tennessee. “His win is a clear rejection of progressive policies that increase prices for Tennessee families, grow government, and hurt the economy. We look forward to working closely with Congressman-elect Van Epps to advance policies that cut red tape, shrink government, and restore America’s promise for the next generation.”
