Tennessee's 2nd congressional district
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2nd Congressional District of Tennessee is a congressional district in Tennessee. It currently includes the east central part of the state.
Cities in the district include Knoxville, Powell, Farragut, Maryville, and Athens.
The 2nd is a very safe district for the Republican Party. Republicans have held the district continuously since 1865. It was one of only two districts in Tennessee (the other being the neighboring 1st) whose congressmen did not resign when Tennessee seceded from the Union prior to the Civil War.
