Shelby County Commission appoints TJ Hardaway as interim State House representative for District 93
Summary
The Shelby County Commission selected TJ Hardaway by roll-call vote, then confirmed the selection by acclamation, to fill the interim vacancy for Tennessee House District 93; the commission adjourned and set its next meeting for May 18, 2026.
The Shelby County Commission appointed TJ Hardaway as the interim State House representative for District 93 during a meeting that moved directly from nominations to a roll-call selection and a confirming acclamation.
The nomination process was opened under Permanent Rule of Order 35. Commissioner Caswell nominated Hardaway, saying, “I am pleased to nominate TJ Hardaway.” Vice Chair Bradford moved to proceed with nominations and skip the speech portion of the rules; the motion was seconded and adopted. After the roll call, the clerk reported a tally of 7 votes for Hardaway, 1 for the nominee identified in the record as "Grama," and 2 for Alexis Miller. The chair then announced, “Mr. Hardaway, since that is the majority of the votes, you will now be the new appointed representative for District 93.”
Following the announcement, the commission approved an acclamation to finalize the appointment. TJ Hardaway addressed the body briefly, thanking individual commissioners and saying he was “overwhelmed” by the honor and the legacy it represented. The chair also noted Hardaway had “some business before him in getting to Nashville,” indicating the appointee was expected to proceed to the state capital to assume duties.
The commission concluded its business and adjourned, setting the next meeting for Monday, May 18, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. The clerk had earlier read public participation instructions including an email and phone option for joining the meeting and the three-minute public-comment guideline.
