The people of Tennessee’s 7th District have spoken and conservative America can breathe a little easier tonight: Matt Van Epps has won the special election to fill the late Mark Green’s seat, a hard-fought victory that keeps a crucial Republican voice in Congress. This win was no accident — it was the result of a disciplined, America-first campaign that stood up to the national left’s fundraising blitz and celebrity interference.
Don’t let the breathless headlines about a “closer-than-expected” race fool you; this was a victory in a district that leans red for a reason, even if Democrats concentrated their resources on Nashville hoping to carve out an upset. Van Epps won decisively enough to claim the seat, though Democrats did make some gains in urban pockets, showing once again that Republicans must keep fighting in the suburbs and not take any voters for granted.
President Trump’s endorsement and MAGA-aligned outside spending poured gasoline on the campaign and helped seal the deal, proving that when Republicans unite behind a fighter, we win. Van Epps ran as a proven conservative and public servant, and his alignment with the movement’s priorities — secure borders, lower taxes, strong national defense — resonated with hardworking Tennesseans. The left’s money and Hollywood buzz couldn’t buy this district.
Senator Ted Cruz appeared on Hannity and rightly framed the race as a test of conservative resolve, urging Republicans to treat every contest like a referendum on our values and the economy. Cruz’s message was plain: the House majority matters and every seat protects the agenda that delivers for American families, from inflation relief to national security. That steady, unapologetic conservatism is exactly what won on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, the national Democratic machine poured in celebrity activists and cash — from Aftyn Behn’s progressive allies to out-of-state funders — trying to import woke politics into a community that wants practical solutions, not virtue-signaling. Voters rejected the radical labels and chose a candidate who will stand for law and order, parental rights, and fiscal sanity; the lesson is clear for Republicans: show up, fight, and do not cede cultural ground to the left.
This victory preserves Republican control in a narrowly divided House and sends a message: grassroots organization, toughness on policy, and loyalty to conservative principles still win elections. But it should also be a wake-up call — Democrats will keep testing red turf with big spending and noisy allies, so patriots must remain vigilant, turn out in every contest, and keep electing leaders who will put America first.
