She describes herself as a \"political newcomer\" who had not been interested in running for office until recently [7]. Her prior professional experience includes working as a legal assistant for 25 years and serving as an associate attorney in complex litigation [1].\n\nMai announced her candidacy for the Tennessee House of Representatives to represent District 92 in the upcoming 2026 election [7]. The district encompasses Marshall County and a portion of Williamson County, including parts of Thompson\u2019s Station and Spring Hill [7]. She is running in the Democratic primary scheduled for August 6, 2026 [1].\n\nMai states that she was inspired to run following the 2022 overturning of *Roe v.

She describes herself as a political newcomer who was inspired to run following the 2022 overturning of *Roe v. Wade* and various mass shootings in Middle Tennessee [9]. Mai states that she entered the race because she could not \"sit back and let the current Republican supermajority continue to run rough-shod over the good people of Middle Tennessee\" [7].\n\nAs a candidate, Mai has outlined specific policy positions rather than legislative accomplishments. She advocates for improved access to mental health services and recovery resources, noting that these services are often limited in rural areas of District 92 [11]. Regarding gun safety, she opposes arming faculty and staff in schools, arguing that it increases the risk of injury or death during active shooter events [12].

He appears on the ballot for the Republican primary scheduled for August 6, 2026 [1].\n\nWarner has positioned himself as a conservative advocate, self-describing as a \"pro-Trump conservative\" with experience in growing the economy [15]. He states that he stands firmly for the Second Amendment, religious liberty, parental rights, medical freedom, and election integrity [11]. In recent political developments, Warner wore a Trump 2024 flag into the state legislature during a redistricting vote in May 2024, an action that drew protests from onlookers [9][5]. He has also publicly criticized Governor Lee\u2019s private-school voucher expansion plans, arguing that such measures do not provide real solutions for rural areas [13]. Warner maintains a campaign office and contact information through his website, where he continues to advocate for small businesses and the elimination of bureaucratic obstacles [3][4].\n\n## Background and education\n\nTodd Warner was born on June 6, 1971 [2]. He is a seventh-generation Tennessee native who was born and raised on a dairy farm in Chapel Hill, Tennessee [6][15]. Warner graduated from Forrest High School in 1989 [1][6].\n\n## Career\n\nTodd Warner was born and raised on a dairy farm in Chapel Hill, Tennessee [6]. He is a seventh-generation Tennessee native who has lived in the state his entire life [15].

He assumed office on November 3, 2020, succeeding Tillis[1][2]. His current term is scheduled to end on November 3, 2026[1]. In the 2022 election cycle, Warner faced a social media dispute with his former opponent Rick Tillis and also ran against Spring Hill Alderman Matt Fitterer and Jeff Ford during the Republican primary[12].\n\nWarner is currently running for re-election to represent District 92 in the Republican primary scheduled for August 6, 2026[1][10]. As of May 2026, he has not yet been charged with any crimes following an FBI raid on his home and office that occurred shortly after he took office in early 2021[7].\n\n## Legislative record and accomplishments\n\nTodd Warner has served in the Tennessee House of Representatives for District 92 since assuming office on November 3, 2020 [1].

In 2026, he was involved in the debate over a substantial expansion of the state\u2019s private-school voucher program, where he expressed opposition to Governor Lee\u2019s approach, arguing that rural areas lack access to private schools and that the plan relied on \"backroom deals\" rather than real solutions [13]. Warner also participated in the 2026 redistricting process, during which he wore a Trump 2024 flag into the legislature ahead of a vote aimed at unseating the state\u2019s last Democratic representative [9].\n\nHis legislative record has been marked by public conflicts with political opponents. In July 2022, Warner engaged in a social media dispute with former Representative Rick Tillis, his previous primary opponent, warning constituents about negative mailers from his opposition [12]. Earlier in his term, Warner faced scrutiny after federal agents raided his home and office in early 2021; he stated that he had not been charged with any crimes but felt weary of being attacked by legislative leadership [7].\n\n## Documented disputes and controversies\n\nIn early 2021, federal agents raided the home and office of Todd Warner shortly after he assumed office in November 2020 [7].

Warner sent a text message blast to constituents warning that his opponent would be sending \"negative\" mailers, while Tillis and Warner had previously squared off on social media as the August 4 election approached [12]. Warner defeated Tillis in that race to claim the District 92 House position [14].\n\nIn May 2026, Warner wore a Trump 2024 flag into the Tennessee State Capitol ahead of a redistricting vote [9]. Footage captured by candidate Allie Phillips showed Warner walking through the Capitol with the flag over his shoulders while protesters jeered and state troopers maintained a heavy presence [9]. Warner later stated on social media that Democrats had screamed \"racist\" at him for wearing the flag, asserting that he would \"never apologize\" for standing with President Donald J. Trump [5].\n\nWarner has publicly criticized Governor Bill Lee\u2019s push for private-school voucher expansion, arguing in a Tennessee Stands op-ed that backroom deals are not a substitute for real solutions and noting the lack of private schools in many rural areas [13]. He also faced opposition from within his own party regarding plans to substantially expand the voucher program in 2026 [8].\n\n## Business interests and wealth source\n\nWarner describes himself as a seventh-generation Tennessee native who has raised his family and built his business in the state [15].
