Tennessee's congressional districts from 2002

These elections were the first under Tennessee's new congressional map after redistricting was completed by the state government.[2] Following the 2002 elections, Democrat Lincoln Davis flipped Tennessee's 4th congressional district, which was previously represented by Republican Van Hilleary. This flipped the Tennessee delegation to a 5-4 Democratic majority.[3]
