This Sleepy Tennessee Town Is Hiding One of the State’s Most Fascinating Railroad Stories

A railroad tunnel dug by hand in the 1850s still carries trains under a mountain here. Workers chipped through solid rock using hand tools, black powder, and sheer stubbornness. That tunnel runs more than 2,200 feet long. It cuts through the Cumberland Plateau in southern Tennessee. Trains still rumble through...

Madison County Sheriff-elect Brett Jones: ‘Shouldn’t be an issue. I’m gay, that’s it’

Madison County Sheriff-elect Brett Jones said his Tuesday night upset of two-term Republican sheriff Kevin Turner shouldn’t be overshadowed by his sexuality. “I know that there are some people that want to turn my sexuality into something, but obviously, the majority of the people, you know, can look past that and see it as what it is – it shouldn’t be anything that dictates how I’m going to do the job,” Jones said.

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
