Tennessee's 22nd Senate district is one of 33 districts in the Tennessee Senate. It has been represented by Republican Bill Powers since a 2019 special election to replace fellow Republican Mark Green.[2]
District 22 is based in Clarksville, and covers most of, Montgomery County. Other communities in the district include Cunningham and Needmore.[3]
The district is located entirely within Tennessee's 7th congressional district, and overlaps with the 67th, 68th and 75th districts of the Tennessee House of Representatives.[4] It borders the state of Kentucky.[1]
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 November 2018, incumbent Mark Green was elected to Tennessee's 7th congressional district, leaving the 22nd Senate district open. Former senator Rosalind Kurita was appointed as a caretaker until a special election for the seat could be held in April 2019.[5]
