Submitted Biography:  "I grew up in the Chattanooga area with three sisters in a two-bedroom house. I worked three jobs through college, earning a Bachelor of Science in Business and Accounting from Berry College. After graduation, I met his wife, Connie, and moved to Athens, TN, where we raised our daughter, Betsy. I began as an accountant at Citizens National Bank and rose through the ranks to eventually become president. Under my presidency, the bank’s assets grew from $25 million—when I started—to over $600 million by the time it was sold. I have dedicated my life to improving our country. When my wife passed away from ovarian cancer, I knew I had to do something — so I became the first and only male lobbyist for the Ovarian Cancer National Alliance. I have also served in leadership during my residence in McMinn County as the Chair of the Library Board, President of the Chamber of Commerce, President of the Optimist Club, and Chair of the Economic Development Authority, among several other community enrichment positions."

Women's healthcare is on the ballot this year. When I lost my wife to ovarian cancer I knew that women's healthcare needed a lot of improvement in this country. We need to ensure that we are taking women seriously and giving the physicians and medical professionals the support they need.

---

For too long politicians have said that they will fight for us. Well, folks are tired of the fighting. They want someone who will work for them, and I promise that if elected I will work for you every day.

I have spent my life helping the community. The office that I am running for is an extension of that lifelong dedication.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Jack Allen (D)

Women's healthcare is on the ballot this year. When I lost my wife to ovarian cancer I knew that women's healthcare needed a lot of improvement in this country. We need to ensure that we are taking women seriously and giving the physicians and medical professionals the support they need.

For too long politicians have said that they will fight for us. Well, folks are tired of the fighting. They want someone who will work for them, and I promise that if elected I will work for you every day.

I have spent my life helping the community. The office that I am running for is an extension of that lifelong dedication.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Jack Allen (D)

The biggest areas of public policy that need tackling in this country are immigration, women's healthcare, and the federal budget.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Jack Allen (D)

The most important principles for an elected official are to maintain truth and civility. These have been lost by too many in public office, and we owe to each other to get back to them.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

Jack Allen (D)

I truly love people and my strong work ethic will help me to work to make safe environments for all families.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Jack Allen (D)

The core responsibilities of a Representative are to do just that: represent. They should be the voice and ear of their constituents and work day and night to ensure the best outcome for the district that they represent.

What legacy would you like to leave?

Jack Allen (D)

The legacy of someone who was able to take their life experiences who was able to pull people together to provide lasting solutions to the problems of my community, state, and nation.

What was your very first job? How long did you have it?

Jack Allen (D)

I spent the summer when I was 15 working on a dairy farm hauling hay.

If you could be any fictional character, who would you want to be?

Jack Allen (D)

If I could be a fictional character I would want to be Atticus Finch because he fought for everyone and knew the struggles of being a single father.

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

Jack Allen (D)

It is always important to listen to other ideas. A lack of listening and understanding is what has caused the gridlock we see in today's Congress.

The Constitution says that all bills for raising revenue must originate in the House. What role would this power play in your priorities if elected?

Jack Allen (D)

I would work towards fair adjustments in the tax code to ensure that the government works for fair opportunities for every American.

General election race ratings

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

• Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
• Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
• Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.
• Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Tennessee in 2024. Information below was calculated on May 2, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

Thirty-one candidates ran for Tennessee’s nine U.S. House districts, including 19 Democrats and 12 Republicans. That’s 3.4 candidates per district, less than in the previous three election cycles. There were 4.0 candidates per district in 2022, 5.0 candidates per district in 2020, and 5.4 in 2018.

The number of candidates who ran for the U.S. House in Tennessee in 2024 is also lower than any other year this decade.

No seats were open in 2024, meaning all incumbents ran for re-election. The last time all incumbents ran for re-election in Tennessee was in 2014.

Six candidates—five Democrats and one Republican—ran for the 8th Congressional District, the most candidates who ran for a seat in Tennessee in 2024.

Six primaries—four Democratic and two Republican—were contested in 2024, the fewest this decade. There were eight contested primaries in 2022, eight in 2020, 13 in 2018, 10 in 2016, and 11 in 2014.

Three incumbents—one Democrat and two Republicans—were in contested primaries in 2024. That’s the same as the previous two election cycles.

Candidates filed to run in the Republican and Democratic primaries in all eight districts, meaning no seats were guaranteed to either party.
