Tennessee's 14th Senate district is one of 33 districts in the Tennessee Senate. It has been represented by Republican Shane Reeves since a 2018 special election to replace fellow Republican Jim Tracy.[2]
District 14 stretches from eastern Murfreesboro to Lynchburg in Middle Tennessee, covering part of Rutherford County and all of Bedford, Cannon, and Moore Counties. Other communities in the district include Shelbyville and Woodbury.[3]
The district is located mainly within Tennessee's 4th congressional district but also is within the 5th congressional district.[4]
Tennessee Senators are elected to staggered four-year terms, with odd-numbered districts holding elections in midterm years and even-numbered districts holding elections in presidential years.
In March 2018, a special election was held to replace Republican Jim Tracy, who resigned in 2017 to become Tennessee State Director of USDA Rural Development.[5]
