MOUNTAIN CITY, Tenn. — House District 3 is going through a special election process after former Representative Scotty Campbell (R - Mountain City) resigned on April 20. An internal investigation by a state subcommittee in late March found that he violated a discrimination and harassment policy.
Timothy Hill (R) won the Republican primary election with 1,666 votes, according to unofficial results from the Tennessee Secretary of State Office. They showed he beat Stacy Vaughan (R), who received 380 votes.
Hill is expected to face Lori Love (D) in the August general election. She ran uncontested in the Democratic primary election.
The general election is expected to be held on Aug. 3. The election commissions included in the special House District 3 race are Carter County, Johnson County, Hawkins County and Sullivan County.
