Democrats in Washington see a new opening to unseat freshman Rep. Scott DesJarlais, who has been dealing with new revelations from a decade-old divorce.
The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee has put Tennessee’s 4th District on its “Red to Blue” list. That could mean the organization is poised to spend money in support of state Senator Eric Stewart. The Democrat’s campaign has released internal polling that shows he is catching up to DesJarlais.
The Republican Congressional Committee got involved two years ago to help DesJarlais upset Democratic incumbent Lincoln Davis.
