Tennessee's 29th Senate district is one of 33 districts in the Tennessee Senate. It has been represented by Democrat Raumesh Akbari since 2018, succeeding fellow Democrat Lee Harris.[2]
Geography
District 29 is based in Memphis, following the Mississippi River to cover parts of South and Downtown Memphis – including much of historic Beale Street – as well as Millington and other unincorporated Shelby County suburbs to the north.[3]
The district is located almost entirely within Tennessee's 9th congressional district, with a very small section extending into the 8th district. It overlaps with the 84th, 85th, 86th, 87th, 90th, 91st, 93rd, and 99th districts of the Tennessee House of Representatives,[4] and borders the states of Mississippi and Arkansas.[1]
