The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit on Thursday struck down Tennessee’s abortion “recruitment” provision. The court affirmed a permanent injunction and held that the 2024 law violates the First Amendment. aftynbehnfortnpress.substack.com/p/federal-ap...

I support freezing the gas tax (Indiana has already done this!) as well as repealing our grocery tax (proposed by @aftynbehn.bsky.social and Sen Charlane Oliver). Tennesseans are hurting and we need to deliver for them! #LauraDelivers

Tennessee state leaders are yet again using your tax dollars to give Elon and his Tesla hole preferential treatment. Pissed off? Show up today at Cordell Hull House Hearing Room II at 2 PM CT or email State.Architect@tn.gov and let them know how you feel.

Meet Crisella, a student at MTSU and my intern, who wrote a policy brief on data centers in Tennessee and through her research determined we needed legislation to pause data center sales tax exemptions until we can determine what it’s costing us. You can check out her policy brief in my LinkTree!

Rep. Aftyn Behn @aftynbehn.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Turns out the state of Tennessee doesn’t know how much the data center industry is costing us. Our bill seeks to change that by pausing the tax exemption and implementing new reporting requirements.

Be smarter than Marsha’s new scam. When she says she’s going “DOGE” Tennessee as our next Governor, she really means cutting Tennesseans off their TennCare and food stamps to fund whatever corporate handouts she’s planning giving her cronies. #SpotTheScam

New @propublica.org and @wpln.bsky.social report shows what our tax dollars are really funding: systemic abuse and neglect of Tennessee kids. We have to move away from a system that looks at kids at inmates and to a system that resources support. aftynbehnfortnpress.substack.com/p/rep-behn-s...

IT’S ELECTION DAY IN TENNESSEE! Polls are open until 7 PM! Bring a photo ID and head to your assigned polling location! If voting in DAVIDSON COUNTY, the canvassers outside polling places asking you to sign a petition for affordable housing is actually to remove racing from the city’s charter.

A new study published Small Business Economics shows that corporate subsidies aren’t job creators…they’re a lobbyist jobs program. More handouts = more work for the people rigging the game. 🤑
