Hemmer represents District 59 in southern Davidson County and passed bills during his tenure dealing with maternal health, university-sponsored lab schools, affordable housing and children’s mental health. The Tennessee Lookout reports that in his parting statement, Hemmer urged constituents to continue holding elected officials “to the highest standards of ethical and professional conduct.”
