Meet the 3 Women Running to Represent Nashville in Congress

In 2022, Nashville was gerrymandered into three Congressional districts, in what the New York Times called “an especially egregious twist of the political knife.” We reached out to interview all six candidates this cycle, but only the Democrats responded: Megan Barry, running to unseat Rep. Mark Green in TN-07; Lore Bergman, running to unseat Rep. John Rose in TN-06; and Maryam Abolfazli, running to unseat Rep. Andy Ogles in TN-05. They sat down with executive producer Whitney Pastorek to discuss their platforms, what they’re learning from our rural neighbors, and share what their campaign theme song would be — if they had one.
