Charlie Hatcher (R) defeated incumbent Andy Ogles (R) in the Republican primary for Tennessee's 5th Congressional District on August 6, 2026.
The Nashville Banner's Stephen Elliott said 2026 was "the second successive cycle that the embattled, bomb-throwing Ogles will have faced a well-connected primary challenger." In 2024, Ogles defeated Courtney Johnston (R) 56.5%–43.5%.
Hatcher served as Tennessee Commissioner of Agriculture from 2019 to 2025. He was, as of the 2026 election, a farmer, livestock veterinarian, and the founder of the Hatcher Family Dairy. In an interview with News Channel 5 Nashville, Hatcher said, "I consider myself a work horse and my opponent is a show horse." Hatcher's campaign website said, "Think what President Trump could do if our congressman spent less time talking and more time doing."
