Maury County Mayor and U.S House Candidate Andy Ogles Wins Another TN-5 Straw Poll

Aaron Gulbransen, Political Reporter at The Star News Network, reported from the Marshall County Republican Party Annual Dinner and Straw Poll in Lewisburg, Tennessee.

He interviewed several candidates in the Republican Primary for Tennessee’s 5th Congressional District seat, including Maury County Mayor Andy Ogles, former Speaker of the Tennessee House of Representatives Beth Harwell, and State Senate aide Tres Wittum.

Maury County Mayor Andy Ogles, a leading candidate in the race, became famous in Tennessee due to his staunch defense of personal medical freedoms and refusal to institute mask mandates in Maury County, Tennessee.

Beth Harwell, another leading candidate in the TN-5 GOP field, was the first female Speaker of the Tennessee House of Representatives and is a Trump administration appointee to the Tennessee Valley Authority.
