Tennessee Senator Jim Tracy (R) may have some competition in the race to win Tennessee’s 4th Congressional District seat that is currently held by Dr. Scott DesJarlais (R). State Representative Joe Carr (R), from Tennessee’s 48th District has announced the formation of a campaign exploratory steering committee focused on testing the waters in a potential bid for Tennessee’s 4th Congressional District. The district stretches across 16 counties in southern middle and east Tennessee. Carr’s exploratory committee will be tasked with determining the viability of a successful run to replace Congressman DeJarlais in the 2014 Republican Primary.
