[10][11] After former TNGA Representative Ryan A. Haynes resigned May 27, 2015, to serve as the Chairman of the Tennessee Republican Party, Zachary and Knox County school board member Karen Carson sought to fill the remaining one year left in the vacated term of Rep. Ryan A. Haynes in a special election that officials estimated cost Knox County taxpayers over $100,000.
[13] Immediately after the 2015 state election results were posted, Zachary also reportedly moved the goalposts of an earlier claim that he "began to feel the Lord [Jesus] calling him to serve his country in 2011" that Zachary made during his failed 2013-2014 election campaign efforts to defeat an incumbent congressman during the Republican Primary in Knox County and be elected to the U.S. House of Representatives by stating, "“People would say, ‘Did God really call you to run for Congress?’ And I can say tonight, yes, tonight validates, because if I had not done that, I would not be sitting here, the Republican nominee to be the state representative for this area.” [14] Lacking any Democratic Party opponent during the 2015 general election, Jason Zachary was appointed as Representative by the Knox County Commission on August 24, 2015 to fill the District 14 House seat formerly held by Haynes.
