For the first time in my lifetime, I’ll have a U.S. House member that represents me.
Andy Ogles will be the first Republican elected from the TN-5th since Horace H. Harrison won his single term in 1872, 150 years ago (and that, only because 2 Democrats split the vote enabling him to win with a plurality).
Ogles will also be the first non-leftist to win the seat since J. Carlton Loser (Low-sir) won his final term in 1960 (defeated by left-winger Dick Fulton in 1962 and leftist ever since, with Bob Clement being “only” 75% left-wing, which today would make him the most Conservative(!) member of the national Demonrat party).
