  • Thursday, August 4, 2016

Democrat Melody Shekari will be facing incumbent Chuck Fleischmann for the U.S. House District 3 seat.

Ms. Shekari had 8,613 votes to 5,295 for Michael Friedman and 2,056 for George Ryan Love.

Rep. Fleischmann, a Chattanooga attorney, had 31,847.

Others in the GOP contest were Geoffery Suhmer Smith, 3,060, and Allan Levene, 3,044.

Ms. Shekari said, "I am so incredibly thankful for the thousands of voters who came out and voted for a change. We had a great campaign filled with volunteers from across the district who knocked on doors, called total strangers, and put their heart and souls into this campaign to build a better Tennessee. We are looking forward to taking this fight all the way to November and bringing East Tennessee a new, independent voice." 

Ms. Shekari grew up in Chattanooga. Her campaign said she "has crossed the district speaking with voters who have made it clear they want a congressperson who is not beholden to lobbyists, a public servant who works for them and not Washington elites."
