Democratic Representatives Justin Jones, D-Nashville, and Justin Pearson, D-Memphis, yesterday won their respective races to return to the state House of Representatives after being expelled in April for their involvement in gun safety protests. Both were reappointed by their respective city councils a week later and won their primary races in June. Jones defeated Republican Laura Nelson to retake House District 52. Pearson defeated independent candidate Jeff Johnston to retake House District 86. The Tennessean has more on their election.
