The Republican Vote Held While the Democratic Vote Surged

Votes for each party’s U.S. House nominee in Knox County, 2022–2026. Burchett’s midterm vote changed by 252; the Democratic midterm vote grew by nearly 27,000.

Each year shows Tim Burchett against that cycle’s Democratic nominee: Mark Harmon (2022), Jane George (2024), Michaela Barnett (2026). Two independents drew about 1,500 combined votes in 2026, so bars do not sum to total ballots.
