District 20 wraps around downtown Nashville and includes parts of Bellevue, Belle Meade, Forest Hills, Goodlettsville, Madison, Joelton, and Hermitage.
Campbell has represented the district since 2020.
“Under Gov. Bill Lee, Tennessee is thriving, but to make sure the Volunteer State continues to innovate and expand opportunity, it is absolutely critical that we elect principled policy leaders like Wyatt Rampy to the Tennessee Legislature,” Raul Lopez, chairman of Latinos for Tennessee PAC, said in a statement.
“Wyatt is firmly committed to expanding school choice and supporting free market principles that will create greater wealth and prosperity for all,” Lopez added. “As the director of Tennessee’s only conservative Latino political organization, I will do everything in my power to make sure that Tennessee’s growing Latino community will support Wyatt Rampy for the Tennessee Senate.”
Rampy is the founder and president of Poplar Hill Realty Company in Bellevue. He also serves on the boards of the Bellevue Community Foundation, Nashville Christian School, God’s Word for Warriors, and World Christian Broadcasting and is an elder at Bellevue Church of Christ.
In 2022, Rampy ran for the Tennessee House of Representatives District 59 but lost in the primary to Michelle Foreman.
During a recent episode of The Michael Patrick Leahy Show, Rampy said he would “focus” on “meeting the needs” of his constituents if he were elected, specifically regarding the economy and crime.
Rampy also described the ideas of his Democratic opponent in the race as “destructive.”
Early voting for the November 5 general election begins on October 16. The last day to request an absentee ballot is October 29.
