The Pamphleteer, July 8, 2025- The Field For D-7 Grows This morning, state Representative Lee Reeves (R-Franklin) announced his plans to run for Congressman Mark Green’s seat. “[President Donald Trump] is our nation’s quarterback, calling the plays to Make America Great Again, and I’m running to be on his team in Congress,” he posted on X. “I’ll fight alongside him to secure our borders, protect our values, and deliver for the people of TN’s 7th District.”
Reeves was quickly endorsed by the founder and CEO of Rotunda Public Affairs, Chris Burger. Though Burger has been floated as a potential candidate, his endorsement effectively knocks him off the ever-growing list.
Yesterday, state Representative Jody Barrett (R-Dickson) also made his plan to run for Green’s seat official. “I’m the first legislator in Tennessee history to earn a perfect conservative voting record, and I promise to take that same Tennessee toughness to Washington to stand with President Trump and fight the liberal elites trying to destroy our way of life,” he announced.
Since this special election does not conflict with the regular general election calendar, state representatives don’t risk forfeiting their chance to run for reelection next year in the TN General Assembly. This morning, the Banner also reported that the Secretary of State’s Office may have to push off the special general election until December to comply with certain notification requirements.
