The open seat in Tennessee's 6th Congressional District, vacated by Rep. John Rose's gubernatorial bid, has produced a competitive Republican primary on August 6 featuring Van Hilleary, Johnny Garrett, Jon Henry, and Natisha Brooks. Hilleary and Garrett lead as the main contenders, both emphasizing Trump-aligned positions on immigration, public safety, and energy policy, while drawing substantial fundraising and operating in a redrawn district that incorporates new Middle Tennessee territory. Brooks's recent suspension and endorsement of Hilleary has consolidated some support without yet shifting the balance decisively. Fundraising edges for Garrett, name recognition for Hilleary, and overlapping conservative voter bases have kept probabilities tightly clustered, with separation likely to emerge from final-week endorsements, turnout patterns, or any late polling that clarifies preferences among the district's core Republican electorate.
