Heidi Campbell is an American music publisher and politician from Tennessee. A member of the Democratic Party, Campbell has represented the 20th district of the Tennessee Senate, covering the inner suburbs of Nashville, since 2021.[1] [2]
Campbell is a music marketing director and has owned her own music publishing company since 1995.[3] She served as mayor of Oak Hill, a small suburb south of Nashville from 2014 to 2020.[4]
In the 2020 elections, she won the Democratic primary for a seat in the Tennessee Senate[5] before defeating two-term Republican incumbent Steven Dickerson, 51.7% to 48.3%.[6]
In April 2022, Campbell announced her candidacy for Tennessee's 5th congressional district in the United States House of Representatives after incumbent Jim Cooper chose to retire.[7] The district encompasses Nashville-Davidson County and five other Tennessee counties.[8] Although the 5th district had been traditionally Democratic, it was redrawn in the redistricting cycle to favor Republicans, and Republican Andy Ogles defeated Campbell.[9]
On April 5, 2023, Campbell announced her candidacy in the 2023 election to succeed John Cooper as mayor of Nashville.[9]
Campbell is married and has two children.[8]
