Tennessee holds a special U.S. House election on December 2, to fill the vacancy in the Seventh District. Six candidates are on the ballot: the nominees of the Republican and Democratic Parties, and four candidates with the label “independent.”

Among the four who qualified as independents, Bobby Dodge says that he is really the nominee of the America Party, but that the requirements for new parties in Tennessee are so difficult, he had to qualify using the independent procedure, which only takes 25 signatures. Here is his campaign website. If one watches his message, toward the end he does say that he represents the party that Elon Musk said he would be founding back in July 2025 (Musk abandoned the idea).

The only other candidate who qualified as an independent and who has a website is Jon Thorp. See his website here.
