Van Epps’ first stop Tuesday is a “Chat with Matt” at Street Coffee Bar in Pleasant View from 11:00 a.m. to noon.
The congressman will then visit Main Street in Ashland City from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m., with stops at 2A Daddy, Ashland City Jewelry, Stone Bridge Books, and other local businesses. The tour will conclude in Kingston Springs with a stop at the Kingston Springs Depot from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m.
Cheatham County Trustee Cindy Perry encouraged residents to attend.
“Join me in welcoming Congressman Matt Van Epps to Cheatham County today for Matt on Main,” Perry said. “If you’ve not previously met Matt then I encourage you to come to one of the locations today and talk with him, get to know him, and ask questions.”
Perry also encouraged residents who have previously met Van Epps to attend and hear about his work in Congress.
Van Epps is seeking another term representing the 7th Congressional District after winning a 2025 special election to fill the seat vacated by former U.S. Rep. Mark Green. He faces Democratic nominee Darden Copeland in the November 3 general election.
President Donald Trump endorsed Van Epps for reelection in August.
Tennessee’s general election will take place on November 3, with early voting scheduled for October 14 through October 29. The voter registration deadline is October 5.
