Republican Rusty Grills won the special election last week to fill the vacant House District 77 seat in West Tennessee, the Nashville Post reports. Grills, a Dyer County Commissioner, will be sworn in when the legislature returns in January. He will succeed Republican Bill Sanderson, who stepped down in September to focus on his family and wine business. Grills won 85% of the vote, beating Democrat Michael Smith and several independent candidates.
