Government |
The 2002 congressional elections in Tennessee was held on November 5, 2002, to determine who will represent the state of Tennessee in the United States House of Representatives.
These elections were the first under Tennessee's new congressional map after redistricting was completed by the state government. [2] Following the 2002 elections, Democrat Lincoln Davis flipped Tennessee's 4th congressional district, which was previously represented by Republican Van Hilleary. This flipped the Tennessee delegation to a 5-4 Democratic majority. [3]
