TJ Hardaway invokes family legacy, pledges constituent-first approach for District 93
Summary
Willis Lincoln “TJ” Hardaway told the committee he seeks to continue his father's public-service legacy in representing District 93, promising accessibility, bipartisanship and focus on economic investment, education and safety.
Willis Lincoln Hardaway (identified in the record as TJ Hardaway) told the General Government Committee on May 6 that he would continue the work of his father and bring a collaborative, constituent-focused approach to the Tennessee House seat for District 93.
Hardaway recounted his family’s long public-service tradition, described prior experience in legislative offices and said he has been fielding calls from constituents since the vacancy emerged. He told commissioners he would pursue economic investment in neighborhoods, support public education and advocate for safer communities. “If selected, I commit to approach the role with humility, professionalism, and accessibility,” Hardaway said.
Commissioners asked how his staff and intern experience would translate into the work of an appointed representative and how he would navigate a partisan supermajority in Nashville. Hardaway emphasized practical collaboration, use of evidence and a focus on constituent services rather than partisan confrontation.
