As the chair of the Davidson County Delegation, Representative Hemmer has championed pragmatic policies and served on the Health, Insurance, and Government Operations Committees to bring these common-sense solutions to Tennessee.

During his first term in office, he passed critical legislative initiatives that include improving transparency for consumers, public education and affordable housing for Tennesseans and real solution oriented efforts to combat Tennessee’s critical vehicle gun theft epidemic, which garnered national attention with coverage on the front-page coverage in the New York Times.

He previously served as a former aide to Governor Phil Bredesen and executive in the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development.

Additionally, he served as a commissioner on the Metro Board of Fair Commissioners and led the redevelopment of the Nashville Fairgrounds, including a new expo center, park, greenway and the MLS Stadium where the Nashville Soccer Club plays.

Hemmer was a founding team member of the Silicon Ranch Corporation, a Nashville-based start-up focusing on utility-scale solar development.
