As a licensed social worker, Aftyn has spent her career working tirelessly to build a Tennessee for all and to elect progressives up and down the ballot. As a civic leader, she is not afraid to push back against right-wing agendas in the Tennessee Legislature.
Over half of Run for Something endorsed candidates identify as women, and over half identify as people of color. RFS candidates and alumni, including Aftyn, are trailblazers who are advancing representation across all levels of government.
Thank you for your dedication to ensuring our government better reflects the communities it’s meant to serve.
