Former congressman squares off with state House member in 6th District GOP primary

In the Republican primary for Tennessee’s 6th Congressional District, both state Rep. Johnny Garrett and former Congressman Van Hilleary are vying for the seat that has been significantly redrawn this year. Both candidates are staunch Trump supporters, and neither has found a clear edge over the other. Garrett highlights his record as a fighter for ultra-conservative policies in the state legislature, while Hilleary emphasizes his previous congressional experience. This race is crucial as it will determine who represents one of Tennessee’s most contested districts in the upcoming elections.
