Freedom Caucus Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) lost the GOP primary for another term representing Tennessee’s 5th Congressional District after a barrage of outside spending and the opposition of Gov. Bill Lee (R-TN).
Ogles, who was first elected to the House in 2022, was defeated by former Tennessee Agriculture Commissioner Charlie Hatcher on Thursday. The Associated Press called the race at 10:10 p.m. With 81% of ballots counted, Hatcher received 53.2% of the vote, while Ogles earned 46.8%.
