WHAT HAPPENED
In Tennessee’s 5th Congressional District Democratic primary, Columbia Mayor Chaz Molder secured the nomination to challenge Republican incumbent Rep. Andy Ogles. Molder defeated former educator Carrie Ann Iacomini and two other Democratic candidates, according to The Hill News and Decision Desk HQ projections.
Decision Desk HQ projected Molder would advance to the November general election after winning the primary. Molder’s victory positions him as the Democratic face of the race against Ogles, who has been a target of intra‑party challenges. The primary reflects a broader effort by Democrats to unseat Republican incumbents in the state.
The 5th District has long been a Republican stronghold; Ogles’ loss in the GOP primary—an event confirmed by The Hill News and NBC News—highlights the volatility of the race.

- Molder defeated former educator Carrie Ann Iacomini and other Democratic challengers, per The Hill News and Decision Desk HQ.
