The 2014 Tennessee House of Representatives election was held on November 4, 2014, to elect 99 seats for the Tennessee House of Representatives. The elections coincided with the Governor, U.S. Senate, U.S. House, and State Senate elections.

Contents

Republicans maintained their supermajority in the state house, gaining 2 seats. [3]

Background

In January 2014, long-time Democratic incumbent Charles Curtiss, who represented District 43, resigned to become the executive director of the Tennessee County Commissioners Association. [4] Following his resignation, the White and Warren County commissions appointed Republican Paul Bailey to fill the vacancy for the remainder of the 108th General Assembly. [5] Bailey did not seek election to the House seat, instead successfully running for the Tennessee State Senate. [6] In the general election, Democrat Kevin Dunlap narrowly reclaimed the seat for his party, defeating Republican Robert Dunham by just 54 votes. [7]
