Tennessee Democrats continue to report strong fundraising by multiple challengers in closely watched House races.

Leading the pack is House District 75 challenger Allie Phillips who reported $46,915 in contributions on last week’s Pre-General Campaign Report.  Phillips is running to unseat Representative Jeff Burkhart, R-Clarksville, who reported $18,700 in contributions.

An analysis of early voting numbers in Shelby County show lower turnout could be hindering the challenger in one of the state’s closest watched House races where Democrat Jesse Huseth is vying to unseat Rep. John Gillespie, R-Memphis, in House District 97.
