Invest in Tomorrow PAC Spends $1.7 Million Against Andy Ogles as Tennessee Primary Nears

Summary
$1.7 million in super PAC spending has targeted Rep. Andy Ogles in Tennessee's 5th District, with Invest in Tomorrow Coalition backing Republican challenger Charlie Hatcher ahead of the Aug. 6 primary.
The group has spent about $1 million opposing Ogles and added another $700,000 in ads, making his race a major focus of a PAC that has raised $6.7 million this year.
Chris Larsen, Ripple's chairman, has supplied $6 million to the PAC since February, including a recent $5 million donation that underpins the anti-Ogles push.
Ogles says the campaign is retaliation for his efforts to roll back Biden-era clean energy subsidies and for his closeness to Donald Trump, who has endorsed his re-election bid.
PAC allies have cast the race as a warning to Republicans who oppose clean energy, underscoring how energy policy is spilling into GOP primaries.
