Trump names Harwell, ETSU president to TVA board

Beth Harwell

Former state House Speaker Beth Harwell is officially seeking the Republican nomination in the 5th Congressional District.

The Nashville Republican has publicly weighed running for the seat since it became clear that leaders in the state legislature would turn the district from a solidly Democratic seat anchored in Nashville to a GOP-friendly district that includes pieces of Davidson, Wilson, Williamson and other counties.
