Who is my U.S. representative in TN-04?
Currently, Scott DesJarlais (R) represents Tennessee's 4th District — he's held the seat since January 2011, representing a mostly rural area including the suburbs of Chattanooga and Nashville. Wikipedia A few important wrinkles worth knowing: Redistricting just happened. Tennessee redrew its congressional maps in a mid-cycle redistricting this spring, creating new district boundaries. Metro Nashville Council member Mike Cortese, who was previously running in the old 5th district, is now running in the new 4th district — so the district's actual territory has shifted. Tennessee Lookout NewsChannel 5 2026 elections are already underway. Early voting for the primary begins July 17, with the primary election on August 6, 2026, and the general election is November 3, 2026. So depending on where exactly your address falls under the new map, DesJarlais may or may not still be your incumbent for the current term — and either way, there's an election this year that could change things. NewsChannel 5 If you want to be sure exactly which district you're in under the new lines (not just the old TN-04 boundaries), the safest bet is to plug your address into the House Clerk's "Find Your Representative" tool or the Tennessee Secretary of State's site, since redistricting can shift specific addresses between districts even within the same general area.

The response correctly identifies Scott DesJarlais as the TN-04 representative, matching the ground truth, but it includes numerous fabricated/unverifiable claims about mid-cycle redistricting, a candidate named Mike Cortese, and specific 2026 election dates that appear to be hallucinated.
