Garrett vs Hilleary in Tennessee's GOP Battle | Nashville News
Description
In Tennessee’s fiercely contested 6th congressional district race, Johnny Garrett is surging in the Republican primary, leveraging his legal background and youth baseball ties while navigating a district that remains solidly red. His main GOP rival, Van Hilleary, brings national experience but offers little contrast — both toe the line with Trump without his endorsement. Meanwhile, Democrat Mike Croley leads early votes, but the district’s conservative lean makes a GOP win almost certain. Complicating matters: AI-generated ads flooded the airwaves just as new disclosure laws kicked in, with Hilleary’s campaign using them to paint Garrett as a progressive — a risky gambit in a district where tradition and loyalty reign. Whoever wins this primary will likely cruise to victory in November.
