2022 Tennessee House of Representatives election

The 2022 Tennessee House of Representatives election was held on November 8, 2022, to elect 99 seats for the Tennessee House of Representatives. The elections coincided with the governor, U.S. House, and State Senate elections.

In District 41, longtime Democratic incumbent John Windle filed to run as an independent after representing the district for nearly three decades; he was known for his support of Second Amendment rights, and reporting noted that Democratic Party leaders had considered removing him from the Democratic primary ballot because his positions were out of step with party leadership, prompting his decision to run as an independent. Windle was defeated by Republican Ed Butler in the general election.

Republicans gained two seats, thereby further expanding their supermajority in the state house.

Partisan background In the 2020 presidential election in Tennessee, Republican Donald Trump won 74 State House districts, while Democrat Joe Biden won 25 districts.
