A good night for incumbents.  Remember, since State Senators serve four year terms, half of the TN Senators run each two years.  This year it was the odd numbered districts on the ballot except Senate District 2, which was an unexpired term that Sen. Art Swann won.

In the open seats, former House member, Republican Dawn White won District 13. Former House member, Democrat Brenda Gilmore won District 19. Former House member, Democrat Raumesh Akbari won District 29.  In District 33, Democrat Katrina Robinson, who defeated Sen. Reggie Tate in the primary was elected with no opposition.
