Democratic Party fails to take seats from Republican supermajority

Marsha Blackburn also won decisively against Johnson. Tennessee Democratic State Party Chair Hendr Remis acknowledged the party’s struggle in the Republican stronghold but emphasized the need for a strategic reassessment of candidate selection and messaging to better connect with voters.

Helene: Strong church body rebuilds a building in Erwin | Tennessee
SUMMARY: Riverview Baptist Church in Erwin, Tennessee, is undergoing extensive rebuilding after severe flooding caused by Hurricane Helene in late September. The main sanctuary remained largely intact, but the church endured up to 4 feet of water and mud, damaging electrical systems. Volunteers helped clear debris and begin reconstruction, as the church relies on donations and a GoFundMe for funding, without support from insurance or government aid. The basement has been reframed and rewired, though attached structures like the fellowship hall were lost. Deacon Jeff Simmons aims for the church to be ready by Christmas.
