<p>COLUMBIA — Tennessee's newly redrawn congressional map is already producing contested Republican primaries, and the race closest to home involves a Marshall County farmer and state legislator. Rep. Todd Warner of Chapel Hill announced Monday that he will seek the new 9th U.S. Congressional District seat, setting up a Republican primary against state Sen. Brent Taylor of Eads in Shelby County. Marshall County borders Maury County to the east, making Warner a familiar figure to many residents here.</p><p>Warner, who wore a Trump flag on the House floor last week as lawmakers voted to alter state law and adopt the new maps, said in a statement that he is not a politician chosen by insiders, consultants, or lobbyists, and that he intends to fight for Tennesseans who feel Washington no longer represents them. The new district map remains tied up in three lawsuits but is currently in effect. According to the Tennessee Lookout, the maps were drawn during a special legislative session called specifically to redraw congressional lines — an action that has drawn significant legal scrutiny.</p><p>The race will be one to watch closely in the months ahead.
