Former Army helicopter pilot Matt Van Epps bucked the recent trend of right-wing electoral disasters on Tuesday, defeating Democratic state Rep. Aftyn Behn in the special House election for my district, Tennessee‘s 7th Congressional District, after Rep. Mark Green (R-TN) announced his resignation this summer.

This is the fifth Washington Examiner op-ed documenting our team’s whistleblowing experience related to the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s Hurricane Maria recovery debacle in Puerto Rico. What does a failed watchdog look like?

Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) said Republicans have “a real problem” after the party eked out a narrow victory in a ruby red Tennessee district in Tuesday’s special election. “I'm always concerned, to be honest,” Burchett told CNN’s Manu Raju when asked about the race, which was more competitive than in recent years. “We got a...
