Rep. Aftyn Behn cares loudly for your issues.

Aftyn Behn’s wealth of political experience behind the scenes and in public policy prepares her to be your State House representative. As a licensed social worker, Aftyn has spent her career working tirelessly to build a Tennessee for all and to elect Democrats up and down the ballot. As a civic leader, Aftyn’s tenacity and fearlessness demonstrate she is unafraid of the challenge the Tennessee Legislature throws her way.

Since her swearing-in on October 4th, 2023, to finish the remaining term of Rep. Bill Beck, Aftyn has held countless meetings with community groups, stakeholders, and constituents to learn what issues are important to folks who make HD51 great; she passed her first bill during the 113th General Assembly; she led the vanguard to eliminate Tennessee’s regressive grocery tax and was the House sponsor of the bill to reverse the most extreme abortion ban in the country. She’s listening, full of energy, and excited to show up and care loudly for the voters of House District 51!
