Nov 7, 2006
Incumbent Democrat Governor Phil Bredeson sailed to an easy win in Tennessee in 2006 over challenger Jim Bryson. Tennessee had an open Senate seat up for grabs when Bill Frist decided not to run for re-election. The seat was eventually taken in a close race by Republican Bob Corker over Democrat Harold Ford Jr.
Incumbents ran in and won seven of nine House elections. The open seat in the 1st District was taken by Republican David Davis, while the open seat in the 9th District was won by Democrat Steve Cohen.
