2020 Tennessee General Election Results
2020 Tennessee General Election Results President: As the nation awaits to see who the next President will be Tennessee was quickly called for President Trump Tuesday evening. Though the President underperformed in Tennessee compared to his numbers in 2016, he still decidedly carried the State with 61% of the vote. Joe Biden carried only three counties in Tennessee: Davidson, Shelby and Haywood. U.S. Senate: Just as Tennessee voting Red for President Trump was no surprise; it was no surprise that Republican Bill Hagerty won big against Democrat Marquita Bradshaw. Bill Hagerty will replace retiring Senator Lamar Alexander. Bill Hagerty is a lifelong Tennessean who has filled various roles in the private sector with a great deal of success and has served as Tennessee Economic and Community Development Commission under Governor Haslam and U.S. Ambassador to Japan under President Trump. Hagerty received the endorsement of President Trump and defeated Dr. Manny Sethi in the primary. U.S. House: All eight of Tennessee’s incumbents were re-elected with little opposition. Tennessee will have a new face in Congress in Diana Harshbarger, who won the Republican Primary for Congressional District 1 to fill the seat left open by retiring Congressman Phil Roe. Diana is a pharmacist from Kingsport. State Senate: Senate District 20: Senator Steve Dickerson, a Republican from Nashville was defeated by Democrat Heidi Campbell, mayor of Oak Hill. Experts knew this race would be close as the district is a democrat district by close to 9 points. Though Senator Dickerson was a left leaning Republican, his voting record was not enough to save him from the anti-Trump voter turnout seen in Davidson County. -

Election Night Briefing Book
WUOT ELECTION 2016 BRIEFING BOOK TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2016 WHAT’S HAPPENING TODAY? A general election for state legislative races, Congressional races and the presidential race. The governor’s office is not up for election this year, nor are Tennessee’s two U.S. Senate seats. EAST TN CONGRESSIONAL RACES • Stuart Starr (D) will challenge Rep. John Duncan (R) for U.S. House Dist. 2. It is very likely Duncan will hold on to the seat. See more on the Congressional races later in this guide. EAST TN GENERAL ASSEMBLY RACES • Sen. Becky Duncan Massey (R) is unopposed for her state Senate District 6 seat. • Gloria Johnson (D) will challenge incumbent Eddie Smith (R) for State Rep. District 13 in the general election. Johnson is Smith’s predecessor, having held the seat from 2012 to 2014. Johnson lost by about 200 votes in ’14, so this will be a very interesting race to watch. • Scott Hacker (D) will challenge incumbent Jason Zachary (R) for State Rep. District 14 in the general election. • Pete Drew (I) will challenge Democrat Rick Staples for State Rep. District 15 in the general election. Incumbent Joe Armstrong (D) resigned from the seat in August, after being convicted on federal tax evasion charges. Staples was selected to run in Armstrong’s stead. Rhonda Gallman is running a write-in campaign for the seat. She identifies as a Democrat. • Bill Dunn (R) is unopposed for State Rep. District 16. • Harry Brooks (R) is unopposed for State Rep. District 19. • Heather Hensley (D) will challenge incumbent Roger Kane (R) for State Rep. -
Tennessee Federation for Children Date: November 4, 2014 RE: NEA’S Grip on Tennessee Slips in 2014 Election Cycle
To: Interested Parties From: Tennessee Federation for Children Date: November 4, 2014 RE: NEA’s Grip on Tennessee Slips in 2014 Election Cycle Building on its momentum after supporting several successful candidates and unseating a 20-year Republican incumbent in the August primary, the Tennessee Federation for Children PAC (TFC PAC) supported three educational-choice challengers to incumbents, with one declaring victory over his opponent in tonight’s general election, and two more losing by votes of only 16 and 55 votes respectively. During the primary, TFC PAC supported candidates who were opposed by the state’s largest teacher’s union—the Tennessee Education Association (TEA)—in six races across the state. The candidate supported by TFC PAC prevailed in five of these six races.1 This trend continued tonight in House District 13, where Eddie Smith defeated Rep. Gloria Johnson. House District 13: Eddie Smith (R)* vs Rep. Gloria Johnson (D) In Knoxville, Tennessee, Republican, House District 13 candidate Eddie Smith went head-to-head with outspoken incumbent Gloria Johnson (D-Knoxville) and won by a narrow margin of 183 votes. Gloria Johnson’s two years in the legislature were notable for her outspoken opposition to any reforms beyond the TEA-supported agenda. A local church leader, Eddie Smith’s campaign of hope and meaningful reform stood as a stark contrast to a legislator who was more well-known for what she opposed than what she supported. 1 TFC PAC supported‐candidates who won their primary: Rep. John Ragan, House District 33; Jerry Sexton, House District 35; Rep. Glen Casada, House District 63; Dr. -
