Haywood and Crockett get new legislative district
January 14, 2012

   Legislators made it official Friday. Haywood County will become a part of House Legislative District 82. Tipton County and Haywood County will no longer be in the same district and that means a new representative for Haywood County.
   District 82 is comprised of Haywood, Lauderdale and Crockett Counties.
   The only thing redistricting lacks is the governor’s signature, and a spokesman in Bill Haslam’s office said that’s expected.
   Legislative boundary changes were required because of population shifts reported in the 2010 census. There are 132 seats in the Tennessee General Assembly.
   Haywood County remains in the same senatorial district where Fayette County’s Delores Gresham is the incumbent.
   Jimmy Naifeh, once the powerful house speaker, has been Haywood County’s representative for about the last about ten years. Naifeh lives in Covington so the new boundary lines make him ineligible to represent Haywood County. Craig Fitzhugh is the incumbent in Haywood’s new district.
   The changes in the districts won’t become effective until after the November election.
