The 2nd congressional district of Tennessee is a congressional district in East Tennessee. It has been represented past Republican Tim Burchett since Jan 2019.
Current boundaries [edit]
The commune is located in East Tennessee and borders Kentucky to the north and North Carolina to the south.
It currently covers all of Blount, Claiborne, Grainger, Knox, and Loudon counties, along with a sliver of Campbell County and a large portion of Jefferson Canton.
Characteristics [edit]
The district is based in Knoxville, and is largely coextensive with that city's metropolitan area.
The area is known for being the home of the flagship campus for the University of Tennessee, hosting the 1982 World'due south Fair, and for being the headquarters for the Tennessee Valley Authority, Ruby Tuesday, and Pilot Flying J.
The second is similar in character to the neighboring 1st, and has long been one of the safest districts in the nation for the Republican Party. No Democrat has represented the district since 1855, and Republicans have held the district continuously since 1859—the longest time whatever party has held any district. The Democrats waged some competitive races in the commune during the 1930s. However, they accept not put up a substantive candidate in the district since 1964, and have but managed 40 percentage of the vote twice since and so.
About of its residents supported the Marriage over the Confederacy during the American Civil War; it was one of four districts whose congressmen did not resign when Tennessee seceded from the Spousal relationship in 1861. The area's residents immediately identified with the Republicans afterwards hostilities ceased. Much of that sentiment was derived from the region's economic base of small-calibration farming, with footling or no utilise for slavery; thus, voters were mostly indifferent or hostile to the concerns of plantation owners and other landed interests farther westward in the country, who aligned themselves with the Autonomous Party. This loyalty has persisted through skilful times and bad ever since, despite the vast ideological changes in both political parties since that time.
The few Autonomous pockets in the district are located in Knoxville, which occasionally elects Democratic mayors and occasionally sends Democrats to the state legislature. However, they are no match for the overwhelming Republican bent of the remainder of Knox Canton, too as the more suburban and rural areas. For example, Blount and Grainger counties are among the few counties in the land to have never supported a Democrat for president.
This district traditionally gives its congressmen very long tenures in Washington, electing some of the few truly senior Southern Republican congressmen before the 1950s. Since 1909, only seven people (not counting caretakers) have represented the district–Richard W. Austin, J. Volition Taylor, John Jennings Jr., Howard Baker Sr., John Duncan Sr., Jimmy Duncan, and Burchett. All six of Burchett'southward predecessors have served at least x years in Congress, with Taylor and the Duncans holding the seat for at to the lowest degree twenty years.

History [edit]
Although the district has taken many forms over the years, it has been centered on Knoxville since 1853.
During the Civil War era, the area was represented in Congress past Horace Maynard. Maynard switched parties many times, just was pro-Union, and did not resign from Congress when Tennessee seceded. Maynard entered Congress in 1857 (four years before the outbreak of the Ceremonious War), but did not leave entirely until 1875 (ten years after the Civil War ended).
For a brusk period in the 1870s, the expanse was represented by Jacob M. Thornburgh. For the 44th United states of america Congress, Thornburgh was the only Republican in the Tennessee delegation.
Post-obit Thornburgh'south retirement, the district chose former Union colonel Leonidas C. Houk, who served until his death in 1891, upon which he was succeeded by his son John.
In tardily 1893, John faced a main challenge from Henry R. Gibson. Gibson was chosen post-obit this narrow and divisive chief, so went on to serve in Congress for 10 years.
Gibson did non seek re-election in 1904 and was succeeded by Nathan Due west. Hale, who served only two terms.
Like in graphic symbol to the Houk/Gibson principal in 1893, Hale faced a divisive primary with eventual winner Richard W. Austin in 1908.
Ten years later on, Austin himself was defeated for the Republican nomination, being edged out by onetime state Republican chairman J. Will Taylor. Taylor managed to serve for twenty years until his death in 1939.
In a special ballot to fill the vacancy left by Taylor'due south expiry, the commune elected former judge John Jennings, Jr. Jennings' tenure nearly perfectly coincided with the 1940s decade.
In 1950, Jennings was defeated in chief past former district attorney Howard Baker, Sr. Baker served for thirteen years until his death in 1964, where he was succeeded by his widow Irene who did not seek re-ballot.
In the 1964 election, the district chose Knoxville mayor John Duncan, Sr. Duncan served for 23 years before his death in summer 1988.
Following Duncan's death, the district elected his son, Jimmy. The younger Duncan served for just over 30 years from late 1988 until his successor was sworn in early January 2019.
Upon Jimmy Duncan'southward retirement, the district chose approachable Knox Canton mayor Tim Burchett, who has served since January 2019.
