Inside Victoria Broderick's unlikely congressional win in Tennessee

On Wednesday morning, everyone was Googling Victoria Broderick. Up until her shocking victory in Tennessee's District 4 U.S. House race, she was a political unknown outside of a small pocket of Democrats in rural Lincoln County. Why it matters: By unseating eight-term incumbent U.S. Rep. Scott DesJarlais, Broderick delivered a victory that pundits, the political establishment and the media did not see coming. (Her campaign raised less than $100,000.) Everyone from the former governor to former Nashville mayors and state lawmakers had failed in the last 18 years to flip prominent Republican-held seats in Tennessee. Yes, but: "I know it was a shock for the rest of the country, but it wasn't a shock for our team," Broderick tells Axios of her "surreal" win. As of Wednesday afternoon, the AP still hadn't called the race for Broderick, but the secretary of state site had declared her the unofficial winner. What she's saying: Asked to describe her political identity, Broderick says she is a "progressive, working-class mom who's been running for this seat for two-and-a-half years." Catch up quick: Broderick, 34, is a married mother of two who works in tech support. ("I'm the person in your office who asks you
