Tennessee's 4th congressional district
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 4th Congressional District of Tennessee is a congressional district in Middle and East Tennessee. It currently includes all of Bledsoe, Campbell, Coffee, Cumberland, Fentress, Franklin, Giles, Grundy, Lawrence, Lewis, Lincoln, Marion, Maury, Moore, Morgan, Pickett, Scott, Sequatchie, Van Buren, Warren, and White Counties, as well as portions of Hickman, Roane, and Williamson Counties.
As currently drawn, the 4th is one of the few seats in the country that is not considered safe for either party. However, it stretches across five of the eight markets taking in significant portions of Tennessee (the Tri-Cities), Knoxville, Chattanooga, Nashville and Huntsville, Alabama). This gives congressional races much of the feel of statewide races, and the required media purchases make it very difficult to unseat an incumbent.
Democrat Lincoln Davis of Pall Mall has represented the district since 2003.
