January 9, 2013 Tilman Goins Sworn In As State Representative

Tilman Goins was sworn in as State Representative for District 10 (Hamblen County) yesterday at the State Capitol. 

Goins defeated former Rep. Don Miller in the Republican primary on August 2, 2012, was then elected without opposition in the November General Election.

Goins resigned his seat on the Hamblen County Commission in December in order to devote himself to his job as state representative.

At yesterday's swearing-in ceremony, Beth Harwell of Davidson County was elected to a second term as House Speaker.

Goins' wife and son were present as were his mother, father, and younger brother. Trustee John Baskette, City Councilman Gene Brooks, Taylor Ward, and Jim Stepp were present as Goins and the other 98 representatives were sworn in by Chief Justice Gary Wade.
