NASHVILLE — All eight incumbents and one new Republican have been elected as Tennessee’s delegation to the U.S. House of Representatives.

Johnson City physician Phil Roe will represent the 1st Congressional District in the upper northeast corner of the state. Roe defeated incumbent Rep. David Davis by fewer than 500 votes in the Republican primary in August.

The makeup of the delegation remains five Democrats and four Republicans.

The returning members are Democratic Reps. Steve Cohen, Jim Cooper, Lincoln Davis, Bart Gordon and John Tanner. The returning Republicans are Reps. Marsha Blackburn, Jimmy Duncan and Zach Wamp.
