Angie Henderson |
When examining campaign finance reports, I was surprised to see that the Davidson County Democrat Party made a contribution to Angie's opponent. The only other candidate the DCDP donated to was the opponent of Robert Swope. Swope is an avowed Republican and headed the Tennessee Trump campaign. I can understand why the local Democrat Party wanted to see him defeated. The Council is a non-partisan body of course and rarely is there a vote cast that one could call a Republican or Democrat vote. Some candidates are more fiscally responsible than others, but that is hardly an exclusive "Republican" of "Democrat" position. One's political identity or allegiance has very little to do with serving in the Metro Council. Still, I can see why Democrats targeted Robert Swope for defeat since he was the leader of the effort to get Trump elected in Tennessee. I cannot understand, however, why the local Democrats targeted Angie Henderson for defeat.
Angie's opponent not only got funding from The Davidson County Democratic Party but from the super liberal Women for Tennessee's Future. She also got funding from the Nashville Business Coalition and she got funding from the Amazon-funded political action committee, A Better Nashville PAC.
Angie Henderson got 66% of the vote and her challenger, Terry Jo Bichell, got 34%. Congratulations Angie Henderson!
