Maury County Mayor Andy Ogles has secured the Republican nomination for the 5th Congressional District despite a barrage of attack ads and federal campaign finance issues, the Tennessean reports. Ogles comfortably carried five of the district's six counties, while former state House speaker Beth Harwell won Davidson County. Ogles will face Democrat Heidi Campbell in the November election to succeed Rep. Jim Cooper, D-Nashville. Campbell, a state senator, ran unopposed in the Democratic primary. The newly redrawn district includes parts of Davidson, Williamson and Wilson counties and all of Lewis, Marshall and Maury counties.
