Campbell was first elected in 2020, narrowly winning the Democratic primary before defeating two-term Republican incumbent Steven Dickerson by a margin of 51.7-48.3%.[3][4] Prior to running for the Senate, Campbell served as the mayor of Oak Hill, a small suburb to the south of Nashville.[5] Campbell is a music marketing director by trade, and has owned her own music publishing company since 1995.[6]

In April 2022, Campbell announced her intent to run for Tennessee's 5th congressional district after incumbent Jim Cooper chose to retire due to the district being gerrymandered in favor of the GOP.[7]
