Funny thing happened when I was doing background research on potential congresswomen Aftyn Behn. I called a company she said she interned for...and they had never heard of her.
In 2023, Behn sat down with online publication Tennbeat for an interview. The outlet dubbed Behn "the AOC of Tennessee." Behn told Tennbeat that "during her senior year at the University of Texas, she interned at the Arc of Texas, a nonprofit dedicated to improving the lives of persons with disabilities."
