[19][20] State senator Eric Stewart announced that he would seek the Democratic nomination to challenge DesJarlais in late 2011.

[23][24] The incumbent was "open to revisiting the question later in the campaign", accusing Stewart of "lack of clarity on the issues" as a reason to avoid debating him.

[30] During their divorce proceedings, Susan DesJarlais alleged that her ex-husband engaged in "violent and threatening behavior".

[32][33][34] In response to the news, Stewart called him a "pro-life hypocrite", contending that "DesJarlais can't be trusted".

[33][35] The DesJarlais campaign did not challenge the truth of the allegations, but replied that "This is old news...."[33][35] Stewart parried in a news conference that: Congressman DesJarlais has ... continued to hold himself out to the public as someone who is pro-life and pro-family, and today doesn't deny that as a medical doctor he had an affair with a patient, got that patient pregnant and then begged and pleaded with her to terminate the pregnancy.After all that, DesJarlais "lashed out at Stewart",[36] stating "there was no pregnancy, and no abortion", blaming his opponents and ex-wife for "dredging up details from his past".

[42] Stewart's aim was to "blanket" the local airways with ads attacking his opponent's vote in favor of Paul Ryan's budget, while the incumbent would tie him to President Barack Obama, who is unpopular in the district.

[36][38] Local political analyst Pat Nolan said that, as of October 10, this probably would be in the news for only a few days, "but it may take longer than that for it to really sink in and for people to understand it".

[46] On the eve of the election, November 5, the Associated Press called for Tennessee's 11 electoral votes to go to "Romney with ease."

Using regression analysis, Stewart's 44.24% tally was the second best of all Democratic candidates, compared to the 30.92% predicted share he would have gotten, all things being equal.
