forward to working with my colleagues to advance projects that reduce congestion,
improve access, and enhance the safety of our roadways, especially in northeast
Tennessee. Together, we can ensure our infrastructure supports growth and meets the
needs of all Tennesseans.”
Hawk, first elected in 2003, is serving his eleventh term representing House District 5. In
