State Sen. Todd Gardenhire, R-Chattanooga, was transported to a hospital in Nashville on Wednesday after experiencing a brief health episode. The Chattanooga Times Free Press reports that Gardenhire, 76, was taken from the Cordell Hull State Office Building "out of an abundance of caution." A spokesperson for the senator says he "was awake and alert when he left the building and is presently in good spirits." Gardenhire, who has represented Chattanooga in the Senate since 2013, said in a text he is recovering.
