These elections were the first under Tennessee's new congressional map after redistricting was completed by the state government. Following the 2012 elections, no seats changed hands, leaving the Tennessee delegation at a 7-2 Republican majority.
The redrawn 2nd district will represent Blount, Claiborne, Grainger, Knox, and Loudon counties, and parts of Campbell and Jefferson counties. The most populous city in the district is Knoxville; as before, the district is largely coextensive with that city's metropolitan area.[3] Republican Jimmy Duncan who has represented the 2nd district since 1988 ran for re-election.
Republican Scott DesJarlais who had represented the 4th district since January 2011. He ran for re-election and won.
Republican primary
State senatorBill Ketron, a Murfreesboro resident, had been rumored to be considering a run for the 4th; he was chairman of the redistricting committee and reportedly drew Murfreesboro into the district to facilitate a run. However, on January 22, 2012, he announced he would not run.[17]
State senator Eric Stewart announced that he would seek the Democratic nomination to challenge DesJarlais in late 2011.[21] The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee made his candidacy their top priority in the South in early 2012.[22] Stewart won the Democratic party endorsement.[23]
The general election was characterized by a series of controversies involving the incumbent. Stewart agreed to three debates, but DesJarlais told the media that he would not participate.[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.[23][25] Stewart responded that DesJarlais was avoiding the voters.[23][25] The local media were critical of the congressman's stance on the debate issue: the Chattanoogan asked, "Why Won't Desjarlais Debate?"[26] and the Times Free Press called it "No good reason to avoid debates".[27]
In October 2012, DesJarlais silenced two Democratic representatives on the floor of Congress.[28] DesJarlais was Speaker of the House pro tempore, in a pro forma session to prevent "President Barack Obama from making recess appointments without congressional consent".[29] Stewart accused DesJarlais of neglecting the district's farmers by not passing the Farm Bill.[29]
The media reported in mid-October 2012 on DesJarlais divorce of his first wife, Susan, from 2001.[30] During their divorce proceedings, Susan DesJarlais alleged that her ex-husband engaged in "violent and threatening behavior".[31] Court filings revealed that he had an affair with a female patient, and pressured her to have an abortion after she became pregnant.[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".[37][38][39][40]
After the primary elections, the race had been rated "Likely GOP" by RealClearPolitics.[41] By July 13 FEC filings, DesJarlais had raised twice as much as Stewart, and had "$591,976 in the bank to Stewart's $152,712".[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.[42] As of October 7, The Tennessean noted that comparing "money and recent history, DesJarlais has the advantage", due to incumbency, raising twice the funds as Stewart,[42] and the GOP tilt of the district; however, "DesJarlais' edge is not as large as the ones held by his Republican peers in Tennessee, ... DesJarlais entered the election with low name recognition, and he cannot count on the wave of conservative voters that swept Republican candidates into Congress two years ago."[43] Both candidates were running as "outsiders".[43]
As of October 12, the Romney/Ryan campaign had removed DesJarlais's endorsement from their website as reported by the Associated Press.[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". When it breaks and how much money they have to get their messages across are "key" for them.[44] By October 14, it had become the "State's most contentious U.S. House battle [that] has everyone talking".[45] As of October 13, analysts stated that Stewart still had an uphill battle finding enough voters to back him.[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." It also predicted an easy re-election for Senator Bob Corker. However, it noted "Tougher times for GOP Rep. Scott DesJarlais after revelations he once discussed abortion with mistress."[47]
DailyKos noted that the race was one of the "few outliers" in 2012: "No Democratic challenger did quite so well in quite so red a district." 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.[61]
The redrawn 5th district will represent Davidson and Dickson counties, and most of Cheatham County. It is based around Nashville, all of which was restored to the district. Previously, a sliver of southwestern Nashville had been in the 7th District.[3] Democrat Jim Cooper has represented the 5th district since 2003, and previously represented the 4th district from 1983 until 1995.
The redrawn 8th district will represent Carroll, Crockett, Dyer, Fayette, Gibson, Haywood, Henry, Lake, Lauderdale, Madison, Obion, Tipton, and Weakley counties, and parts of Benton and Shelby counties. The most populous city in the district is Jackson.[3] The new district is significantly more Republican than its predecessor; the legislature pushed it further into the heavily Republican Memphis suburbs. Republican Stephen Fincher, who has represented the 8th district since January 2011, ran for re-election.[67]
The redrawn 9th district will represent most of Shelby County, and is based around Memphis.[3] Democrat Steve Cohen, who has represented the 9th district since 2007, ran for re-election.[70]
