She is on the ballot in the Democratic primary scheduled for August 6, 2026 [1]. The district covers eastern Williamson County [9].\n\nAndreson officially announced her candidacy in 2024, marking her second attempt to win the seat held by incumbent Republican Representative Jake McCalmon [11]. She previously ran as a Democrat for District 63 in 2024 but was defeated by McCalmon [11]. In this cycle, she has secured endorsements from District 55 State Representative John Ray Clemmons and District 56 State Representative Bob Freeman [11].\n\nA Franklin-based obstetrician-gynecologist, Andreson states that her campaign is motivated by the need to address and reform Tennessee\u2019s stringent abortion laws [6]. She describes her platform as being built on compassion, expertise, and a commitment to women's health [9]. Her professional background includes graduating from Sawyer High School and earning a D.O. from Des Moines University in 2002, followed by a residency at the University of Minnesota in 2006 [1]. She has over two decades of experience as an OB-GYN [2].\n\n## Background and education\n\nLaura Andreson was born in Mohall, North Dakota [1]. She graduated from Sawyer High School and earned a Bachelor of Science in Clinical Laboratory Science from the University of North Dakota [1][10]. She subsequently attended Des Moines University College of Osteopathic Medicine, where she received her Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) degree in 2002 [1][10]. Andreson completed her residency in obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Minnesota in 2006 [1][10].\n\nAndreson self-describes as a mother who has been married to her husband, Kent, for 25 years and has two sons aged 16 and 18 [10].\n\n## Career\n\nLaura Andreson is a physician and osteopathic medical doctor who specializes in obstetrics and gynecology[1]. She earned her Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.) degree from Des Moines University in 2002 and completed her residency in obstetrics and gynecology at the University of Minnesota in 2006[1][8]. Her medical practice is located in Franklin, Tennessee, where she has worked for over two decades[2]. During this time, she has delivered thousands of babies and supported families with complex pelvic health conditions, including urinary incontinence and chronic pelvic pain[2][7].\n\nAndreson holds professional licenses as a physician and osteopathic medical doctor[1]. She serves as a board member for the Tennessee Medical Association[10]. In addition to her clinical work, she has been involved in advocacy regarding reproductive health; she sued the state of Tennessee over its abortion ban, citing the urgent need to address and reform stringent abortion laws[4][6].\n\nAndreson states that she is a mother of two sons and has been married for 25 years[10]. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Clinical Laboratory Science from the University of North Dakota[10].\n\n## Office history\n\nLaura Andreson has not previously held elected or appointed public office [10]. She is a first-time political candidate who announced her candidacy for the Tennessee House of Representatives District 63 in the 2024 election cycle [6][9]. In that race, she ran as a Democrat against incumbent Republican Representative Jake McCalmon but was defeated [5][11].\n\nAndreson is currently running for election to the Tennessee House of Representatives to represent District 63 as a Democrat in the upcoming August 6, 2026, primary [1]. This marks her second attempt to win the seat held by incumbent state Rep. Jake McCalmon [11].\n\n## Legislative record and accomplishments\n\nLaura Andreson has not previously held public office [10]. As a first-time candidate in 2024, she ran for Tennessee House District 63 as a Democrat but lost to incumbent Republican Rep. Jake McCalmon [5][9]. She subsequently announced her candidacy again for the same seat in the 2026 election cycle [11].\n\nAndreson\u2019s legislative priorities are centered on reproductive health and rights, motivated by her professional experience as an OB-GYN and her legal challenges to Tennessee's abortion restrictions [4][6]. Her campaign platform emphasizes compassion and expertise in addressing the health needs of Tennessee women [9]. She has stated that she is stepping into politics to reform the state's stringent abortion laws [6][9].\n\nAndreson received endorsements from District 55 State Rep. John Ray Clemmons and District 56 State Rep. Bob Freeman during her 2026 campaign launch [11]. She has not yet served in the Tennessee House of Representatives, so she has no current legislative record, sponsored bills, or committee assignments to cite for this term [1][10].\n\n## Documented disputes and controversies\n\nLaura Andreson challenged incumbent Republican Representative Jake McCalmon in the 2024 general election for Tennessee House District 63 [5]. She lost that race to McCalmon [11]. In the 2026 cycle, she is running as a Democrat to unseat McCalmon again [4][11].\n\nAndreson\u2019s political entry was motivated by her opposition to Tennessee\u2019s abortion restrictions, which she described as \"stringent\" and urgent to reform [6][9]. She has sued the state of Tennessee over its abortion ban, a legal action cited in campaign materials promoting her candidacy [4]. Her platform is self-described as being built on compassion and medical expertise regarding women's health [9].\n\nAndreson received endorsements from District 55 State Representative John Ray Clemmons and District 56 State Representative Bob Freeman for the 2026 primary [11]. Clemmons introduced her to Democratic donors in Franklin, describing her as one of his personal heroes [11]. The Blue Voter Guide also lists her as a candidate with endorsements from pro-democracy organizations [3].\n\n## Business interests and wealth source\n\nLaura Andreson is a physician and obstetrician-gynecologist who has practiced in Franklin, Tennessee, for over two decades [2]. She earned her Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine degree from Des Moines University in 2002 and completed her residency at the University of Minnesota in 2006 [1]. Her medical practice focuses on complex pelvic health conditions, including urinary incontinence and chronic pelvic pain [7]. Andreson self-describes as having delivered thousands of babies and supported families through various challenges during her career [2].\n\nPublic financial disclosure documents for her candidacy do not detail specific business ownership stakes or a distinct source of family wealth separate from her medical profession. Andreson states that she is married to her husband, Kent, and they have two sons aged 16 and 18 [10]. Her campaign narrative emphasizes her professional experience and community connection rather than independent business ventures or investment portfolios [6].\n\n## Family\n\nAndreson states that she has been married to her husband, Kent, for 25 years as of November 2024 [10]. The couple has two sons, aged 16 and 18 at that time [10]. Her campaign materials describe her as a mother who draws on her experience supporting families through her medical practice [2].\n\n## Sources\n[1] [Laura Andreson - Ballotpedia](https://ballotpedia.org/Laura_Andreson)\n[2] [Dr. Laura Andreson for TN House 63](https://lauraandresonfortn.com/)\n[3] [Endorsements for Laura Andreson - Tennessee Democratic Party Candidate](https://bluevoterguide.org/TN/candidate_Laura_Andreson/548346)\n[4] [New Blue Tennessee on X: \"\u201cDr. Laura Andreson, a Franklin OB-GYN who has sued Tennessee over its abortion ban, will challenge incumbent (r) Rep.
