Andrew Ellis Farmer (born December 14, 1979) is an American politician and a Republican member of the Tennessee House of Representatives representing District 17 since January 8, 2013.[3]
Farmer earned his bachelor's degree in business administration from East Tennessee State University and his JD from Thomas M. Cooley Law School.
In 2023, Farmer supported motions to remove three sitting Democratic representatives Gloria Johnson, Justin Jones, and Justin J. Pearson for "knowingly and intentionally bring[ing] disorder and dishonor" and "generally engag[ing] in disorderly and disruptive conduct", which resulted in the proceedings being shut down. Protesters were at the capitol voicing their outrage over a school shooting in Nashville that left six dead.[4] [5]
The resolution to remove Jones, HR65, was sponsored by Bud Hulsey and co-sponsored by Gino Bulso, Farmer, and Johnny Garrett; it passed with a vote of 7225.[6] He was also the sponsor of HR63, the resolution to remove Pearson.[7]
