Nashville public defender, Jeff Preptit, has dropped his campaign for the Democratic nomination in House District 59, the Nashville Post reports. Preptit was forced to make the decision after the newly redrawn House maps put him in a different district, which now includes wealthier areas in southern Davidson County. Local health care executive Caleb Hemmer is seeking the Democratic nomination, while Michelle Foreman and Wyatt Rampy are running as Republicans. Incumbent Rep. Jason Potts, D-Nashville, is not seeking reelection.
