Tennessee's 32nd Senate district

District 32 is based in the eastern and northern suburbs of Memphis in Shelby as well as Lauderdale and Tipton Counties, covering parts of Memphis proper as well as Covington, Atoka, Munford, and most of Bartlett.^[3]

The district is located almost entirely within Tennessee's 8th congressional district, with a small section extending into the 9th district. It overlaps with the 81st, 83rd, 88th, 95th, 97th, 98th, and 99th districts of the Tennessee House of Representatives,^[4] and borders the states of Mississippi and Arkansas.^[1]

Tennessee Senators are elected to staggered four-year terms, with odd-numbered districts holding elections in midterm years and even-numbered districts holding elections in presidential years.

In 2018, incumbent Mark Norris was appointed as a United States District Judge for the Western District of Tennessee, triggering a special election to replace him in March 2019.^[6]
