Hardaway urges Shelby County Commission to fill State House vacancy
“The citizens in House District 91 desire and deserve the singular voice and full attention of their own state representative to deliver constitutionally guaranteed, equal representation in the Tennessee General Assembly,” Democratic state Rep. G.A. Hardaway, seen here in a file photo, said in an email to commission chairman Willie Brooks. (Ian Round/The Daily Memphian file)
Democratic state Rep. G.A. Hardaway reacted after some county commissioners said Monday they didn’t see any sense in filling the vacancy in a Memphis district because the Tennessee Legislature’s session has ended.
