Additionally, Representative Curtis has two sons-in-law; Luke Underwood and Kane Lancaster, as well as five grandsons; Brodie, Maddox, Carter, Brenton and Tripp.
In 2006, Mike Curtis of Greenhill was the sole Democrat to challenge Republican State Representative Lynn Greer of Rogersville.
However, months after qualifying ended, Grisham dropped out of the race leaving only Curtis to seek the state House seat.
Within weeks, the county GOP nominated Mary Pettus, also of Greenhill, to face Curtis in the general election.
In the 2006 race, Curtis easily defeated Pettus and is currently serving as the State Representative for Lauderdale County District 2.
