GREENFIELD (April 3) — Republican Tandy Darby announces his candidacy for the Tennessee House of Representatives, District 76 seat. Darby is a lifelong Greenfield, Weakley County resident, where he has worked at Greenfield’s Akin and Porter Produce for over twenty-five years. Darby, a Greenfield High School alumnus, is a first generation college graduate in which he attended the University of Tennessee at Martin on an athletic scholarship and obtained a Bachelor’s of Science in Agricultural Business.

When asked why he is seeking election this year, he said, “After watching from the sidelines for years, I find that the greatest opportunity to serve my family and community is by representing them in Nashville. My family and I have always tried to do what we could to improve our community and the lives of those around us. By taking that same mindset to our state capitol, I know that the entire 76th District will benefit.”
