GOP to Unveil Redistricting Plan for Tennessee House

By Todd Hatton

Murray, KY – Tennessee House Republicans are unveiling their plan to redraw districts in the 99-member lower chamber of the state General Assembly. The changes follow the 2010 Census and will reflect shifting population and political trends over the last decade. The House GOP plan is scheduled to be discussed at a legislative meeting this morning. The Senate has yet to reveal its proposed changes, and neither chamber has said when it plans to release maps for redrawn congressional districts. Republican leaders say they want the redistricting measure to be among the first bills considered when the legislative session begins next week.
