Official Profile
David Jones — declared Democratic candidate in the Aug 6, 2026 TN-07 primary (general Nov 3, 2026). CURRENCY CORRECTION: TN-07 is NOT an open seat — Republican Matt Van Epps won the Dec 2, 2025 special election (53.9% to Aftyn Behn 45.1%) after Mark Green's July 2025 resignation and is the 2026 incumbent; TN-07 was also redrawn (map signed 2026-05-07). Minimal-footprint candidate: no campaign site, no candidate survey, no policy statements or endorsements located as of 2026-06-17, so all rubric cells are null (no fabrication from party). Re-check after the Aug 6, 2026 primary.
