TennesseeâÂÂs 3rd congressional district lied in East Tennessee, anchored by Chattanooga and surrounding communities. It included all of Anderson, Bledsoe, Grundy, Hamilton, Marion, Meigs, Morgan, Polk, Roane, Sequatchie, and Van Buren counties, as well as part of Bradley County. The district had been represented by Democrat Marilyn Lloyd, who had served since 1975.
Marilyn Lloyd performed best in a number of the districtâÂÂs smaller and more rural counties. She won Grundy, Marion, Meigs, Morgan, Polk, Roane, Sequatchie, Van Buren, and Anderson County.
Republican Zach WampâÂÂs strength was concentrated in the districtâÂÂs population centers and most suburban areas. He posted his largest raw vote and margin in Hamilton County, home to Chattanooga, and also carried Bradley County and Bledsoe County. Despite those wins, WampâÂÂs margins were not large enough to overcome LloydâÂÂs advantage in the districtâÂÂs rural and exurban areas.
TennesseeâÂÂs 6th congressional district lied in Middle Tennessee, including all of Cannon, Clay, DeKalb, Jackson, Macon, Marshall, Overton, Putnam, Rutherford, Smith, Sumner, Trousdale, Wilson, and Williamson Counties, as well as a small southern portion of Davidson County. It had been represented by Democrat Bart Gordon since 1985.
Bart Gordon won every rural county in the district and ran up particularly large margins in the Upper Cumberland, including Clay, DeKalb, Jackson, Overton, Smith, and Trousdale. He also carried Cannon, Macon, Marshall, Putnam, Rutherford, and Sumner.
The Republican challenger was Marsha Blackburn, who would later become a future Congresswoman representing Tennessee's 7th congressional district. She performed best in the districtâÂÂs suburban areas, and won the Williamson CountyâÂÂwhich was her home countyâÂÂand also carried the suburban precincts in the districtâÂÂs share of Davidson County. Those margins, however, did not come close to GordonâÂÂs strength in the districtâÂÂs rural and exurban areas.
