State Sen. Heidi Campbell, D-Nashville, filed papers today to run for the U.S. Congress in the newly redrawn 5th Congressional District. Campbell is the first well-known Democrat to enter the race since incumbent U.S. Rep. Jim Cooper announced he would retire, the Nashville Post reports. Campbell, the former mayor of Oak Hill in Davidson County, won the senate seat in 2020, beating incumbent Republican Sen. Steve Dickerson.
