The 10th senate district covers all of Bledsoe, Marion, and Sequatchi counties, including part of Hamilton County. The district had been represented by Todd Gardenhire.
During the 2022 redistricting cycle, maps enacted by the Tennessee General Assembly significantly altered Senate District 10. Bradley County was removed, which had previously helped anchor the district’s Republican lean, while boundaries within Hamilton County were adjusted to shift some Democratic areas of East Chattanooga into neighboring District 11. These changes made this portion of Hamilton County more competitive, while the addition of the reliably Republican counties of Bledsoe County, Marion County, and Sequatchie County strengthened the district’s overall Republican lean compared to the previous lines.[31]
Todd Gardenhire won re-election with 61.2% of the vote, defeating his Democratic opponent Missy Crutchfield. Gardenhire won the district's portion of Hamilton County by 7%.[32]

The 14th senate district covers Bedford, Cannon, and Moore counties, including part of part of Rutherford County. The district had been represented by Republican Shane Reeves.
During the 2022 redistricting cycle, the district’s boundaries were adjusted, though its overall partisan alignment did not change drastically. Lincoln County and Marshall County were removed, while Cannon County was added, and the district took in more Democratic-leaning areas of Rutherford County, including much of La Vergne and more Democratic parts of Murfreesboro. These changes slightly reduced the district’s Republican margin, though it remained a solidly Republican seat.[31]
Shane Reeves won re-election with 68.0% of the vote, defeating Democratic nominee E. R. Smith. Although redistricting made the district’s portion of Rutherford County less Republican-leaning, Reeves still carried that area by a comfortable margin, winning it 58.8%–41.2%.[32]

The 20th senate district is based in Davidson County, and encompasses many of Nashville's wealthy inner suburbs, including Forest Hills, Belle Meade, and parts of Oak Hill and Goodlettsville. The district had been represented by Democrat Heidi Campbell.
During the 2022 redistricting cycle, Tennessee’s Republican controlled Legislature enacted new state legislative maps that affected Senate District 20. As part of the reconfiguration of Davidson County, District 20 was adjusted to allow District 17 to extend into Davidson and take in areas such as the Nashville International Airport. This adjustment added more Democratic friendly precincts to District 20. Civil rights groups criticized the overall changes as diluting minority voting strength, while courts later dismissed the related legal challenge.[39][40]
