The '''8th congressional district of Tennessee''' is a congressional district in [[West Tennessee]]. It has been represented by Republican [[David Kustoff]] since January 2017.
==Current Boundaries==
The district is located in [[West Tennessee]]. It borders [[Kentucky]] to the north, [[Arkansas]] and [[Missouri]] to the west, and [[Mississippi]] to the south.
It is currently composed of the following counties: [[Carroll County, Tennessee|Carroll]], [[Crockett County, Tennessee|Crockett]], [[Dyer County, Tennessee|Dyer]], [[Fayette County, Tennessee|Fayette]], [[Gibson County, Tennessee|Gibson]], [[Haywood County, Tennessee|Haywood]], [[Henry County, Tennessee|Henry]], [[Lake County, Tennessee|Lake]], [[Lauderdale County, Tennessee|Lauderdale]], [[Madison County, Tennessee|Madison]], [[Obion County, Tennessee|Obion]], [[Tipton County, Tennessee|Tipton]], and [[Weakley County, Tennessee|Weakley]]. It also contains a large piece of [[Shelby County, Tennessee|Shelby County]] and a small piece of [[Benton County, Tennessee|Benton]].
==Characteristics==
The district appears rural on a map, but the bulk of its vote is cast in the suburban areas around [[Memphis, Tennessee|Memphis]], such as [[Germantown, Tennessee|Germantown]], [[Bartlett, Tennessee|Bartlett]], and [[Collierville, Tennessee|Collierville]], as well as [[Fayette County, Tennessee|Fayette]] and [[Tipton County, Tennessee|Tipton]] counties. This area boasts some of the highest median incomes in the state.
The rest of the district is composed mostly of small towns and farming communities. The district already had a strong social conservative tint which grew even more pronounced when eastern Memphis was added to the district; many of the state's most politically active churches are located here.
According to the 2010 census, the five largest cities located mostly with the district are: [[Jackson, Tennessee|Jackson]] (65,211), [[Bartlett, Tennessee|Bartlett]] (54,613), [[Collierville, Tennessee|Collierville]] (43,965), [[Germantown, Tennessee|Germantown]] (38,844), and [[Dyersburg, Tennessee|Dyersburg]] (17,145).

==History==
Districts similar to today's 8th (composing of rural areas in northwest Tennessee) have been in place since [[Reconstruction Era|Reconstruction]].
During the early 20th century, most of northwest Tennessee was represented by Democrats [[Finis J. Garrett]] (1905 to 1929), [[Jere Cooper]] (1929 to 1943), [[Clifford Davis (politician)|Clifford Davis]] (1943 to 1953), then Cooper again from 1953 to 1957. Cooper was succeeded by [[Fats Everett]], who served until his death in early 1969.
The district's current form of including Memphis suburbs began in 1967 due to a re-districting caused by the [[Baker v. Carr]] ruling.
Following Everett's death in 1969, the district chose former Tennessee Commissioner of Agriculture [[Ed Jones (Tennessee politician)|Ed Jones]] in a special election. Jones served the area in Congress for just under twenty years until his retirement in 1988.
Upon Jones' retirement, the district selected Democrat [[John S. Tanner]] as its representative.
Following eleven terms (22 years) in Congress, Tanner retired.
In 2011, the district chose Republican businessman [[Stephen Fincher]] over Democrat state senator [[Roy Herron]]. It marked the first time since [[Reconstruction Era|Reconstruction]] that a Republican had represented northwest Tennessee.
Following the 2010 census, the district lost its remaining territory in [[Middle Tennessee]], meaning it was entirely within [[West Tennessee]] for the first time since 1968. In the same census, the 7th lost its remaining claims in [[Shelby County, Tennessee|Shelby County]], meaning that since 2012, any area of Shelby County that is not in the 9th is in the 8th.
In 2016, Fincher retired and was succeeded by Republican [[David Kustoff]], a former [[United States Attorney]].

The '''8th congressional district of Tennessee''' is a congressional district in [[West Tennessee]]. It has been represented by Republican [[David Kustoff]] since January 2017.
==Current Boundaries==
The district is located in [[West Tennessee]]. It borders [[Kentucky]] to the north, [[Arkansas]] and [[Missouri]] to the west, and [[Mississippi]] to the south.
It is currently composed of the following counties: [[Carroll County, Tennessee|Carroll]], [[Crockett County, Tennessee|Crockett]], [[Dyer County, Tennessee|Dyer]], [[Fayette County, Tennessee|Fayette]], [[Gibson County, Tennessee|Gibson]], [[Haywood County, Tennessee|Haywood]], [[Henry County, Tennessee|Henry]], [[Lake County, Tennessee|Lake]], [[Lauderdale County, Tennessee|Lauderdale]], [[Madison County, Tennessee|Madison]], [[Obion County, Tennessee|Obion]], [[Tipton County, Tennessee|Tipton]], and [[Weakley County, Tennessee|Weakley]]. It also contains a large piece of [[Shelby County, Tennessee|Shelby County]] and a small piece of [[Benton County, Tennessee|Benton]].
==Characteristics==
The district appears rural on a map, but the bulk of its vote is cast in the suburban areas around [[Memphis, Tennessee|Memphis]], such as [[Germantown, Tennessee|Germantown]], [[Bartlett, Tennessee|Bartlett]], and [[Collierville, Tennessee|Collierville]], as well as [[Fayette County, Tennessee|Fayette]] and [[Tipton County, Tennessee|Tipton]] counties. This area boasts some of the highest median incomes in the state.
The rest of the district is composed mostly of small towns and farming communities. The district already had a strong social conservative tint which grew even more pronounced when eastern Memphis was added to the district; many of the state's most politically active churches are located here.
According to the 2010 census, the five largest cities located mostly with the district are: [[Jackson, Tennessee|Jackson]] (65,211), [[Bartlett, Tennessee|Bartlett]] (54,613), [[Collierville, Tennessee|Collierville]] (43,965), [[Germantown, Tennessee|Germantown]] (38,844), and [[Dyersburg, Tennessee|Dyersburg]] (17,145).

==History==
Districts similar to today's 8th (composing of rural areas in northwest Tennessee) have been in place since [[Reconstruction Era|Reconstruction]].
During the early 20th century, most of northwest Tennessee was represented by Democrats [[Finis J. Garrett]] (1905 to 1929), [[Jere Cooper]] (1929 to 1943), [[Clifford Davis (politician)|Clifford Davis]] (1943 to 1953), then Cooper again from 1953 to 1957. Cooper was succeeded by [[Fats Everett]], who served until his death in early 1969.
The district's current form of including Memphis suburbs began in 1967 due to a re-districting caused by the [[Baker v. Carr]] ruling.
Following Everett's death in 1969, the district chose former Tennessee Commissioner of Agriculture [[Ed Jones (Tennessee politician)|Ed Jones]] in a special election. Jones served the area in Congress for just under twenty years until his retirement in 1988.
Upon Jones' retirement, the district selected Democrat [[John S. Tanner]] as its representative.
Following eleven terms (22 years) in Congress, Tanner retired.
In 2011, the district chose Republican businessman [[Stephen Fincher]] over Democrat state senator [[Roy Herron]]. It marked the first time since [[Reconstruction Era|Reconstruction]] that a Republican had represented northwest Tennessee.
Following the 2010 census, the district lost its remaining territory in [[Middle Tennessee]], meaning it was entirely within [[West Tennessee]] for the first time since 1968. In the same census, the 7th lost its remaining claims in [[Shelby County, Tennessee|Shelby County]], meaning that since 2012, any area of Shelby County that is not in the 9th is in the 8th.
In 2016, Fincher retired and was succeeded by Republican [[David Kustoff]], a former [[United States Attorney]].

<p>The district appears rural on a map, but the bulk of its vote is cast in the suburban areas around <a href="/wiki/Memphis,_Tennessee" title="Memphis, Tennessee">Memphis</a>, such as <a href="/wiki/Germantown,_Tennessee" title="Germantown, Tennessee">Germantown</a>, <a href="/wiki/Bartlett,_Tennessee" title="Bartlett, Tennessee">Bartlett</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Collierville,_Tennessee" title="Collierville, Tennessee">Collierville</a>, as well as <a href="/wiki/Fayette_County,_Tennessee" title="Fayette County, Tennessee">Fayette</a> and <a href="/wiki/Tipton_County,_Tennessee" title="Tipton County, Tennessee">Tipton</a> counties. This area boasts some of the highest median incomes in the state.
</p><p>The rest of the district is composed mostly of small towns and farming communities. The district already had a strong social conservative tint which grew even more pronounced when eastern Memphis was added to the district; many of the state's most politically active churches are located here.

<p>Districts similar to today's 8th (composing of rural areas in northwest Tennessee) have been in place since <a href="/wiki/Reconstruction_Era" class="mw-redirect" title="Reconstruction Era">Reconstruction</a>.
</p><p>During the early 20th century, most of northwest Tennessee was represented by Democrats <a href="/wiki/Finis_J._Garrett" title="Finis J. Garrett">Finis J. Garrett</a> (1905 to 1929), <a href="/wiki/Jere_Cooper" title="Jere Cooper">Jere Cooper</a> (1929 to 1943), <a href="/wiki/Clifford_Davis_(politician)" title="Clifford Davis (politician)">Clifford Davis</a> (1943 to 1953), then Cooper again from 1953 to 1957. Cooper was succeeded by <a href="/wiki/Fats_Everett" title="Fats Everett">Fats Everett</a>, who served until his death in early 1969.
</p><p>The district's current form of including Memphis suburbs began in 1967 due to a re-districting caused by the <a href="/wiki/Baker_v._Carr" title="Baker v. Carr">Baker v. Carr</a> ruling.
</p><p>Following Everett's death in 1969, the district chose former Tennessee Commissioner of Agriculture <a href="/wiki/Ed_Jones_(Tennessee_politician)" title="Ed Jones (Tennessee politician)">Ed Jones</a> in a special election. Jones served the area in Congress for just under twenty years until his retirement in 1988.
</p><p>Upon Jones' retirement, the district selected Democrat <a href="/wiki/John_S._Tanner" title="John S. Tanner">John S. Tanner</a> as its representative.
Following eleven terms (22 years) in Congress, Tanner retired.
</p><p>In 2011, the district chose Republican businessman <a href="/wiki/Stephen_Fincher" title="Stephen Fincher">Stephen Fincher</a> over Democrat state senator <a href="/wiki/Roy_Herron" title="Roy Herron">Roy Herron</a>. It marked the first time since <a href="/wiki/Reconstruction_Era" class="mw-redirect" title="Reconstruction Era">Reconstruction</a> that a Republican had represented northwest Tennessee.
</p><p>Following the 2010 census, the district lost its remaining territory in <a href="/wiki/Middle_Tennessee" title="Middle Tennessee">Middle Tennessee</a>, meaning it was entirely within <a href="/wiki/West_Tennessee" title="West Tennessee">West Tennessee</a> for the first time since 1968. In the same census, the 7th lost its remaining claims in <a href="/wiki/Shelby_County,_Tennessee" title="Shelby County, Tennessee">Shelby County</a>, meaning that since 2012, any area of Shelby County that is not in the 9th is in the 8th.
</p><p>In 2016, Fincher retired and was succeeded by Republican <a href="/wiki/David_Kustoff" title="David Kustoff">David Kustoff</a>, a former <a href="/wiki/United_States_Attorney" title="United States Attorney">United States Attorney</a>.
