John Duncan

Congressman Knoxville, Tenn
Birthday: July 21, 1947

Biography

Representative for Tennessee’s 2nd congressional district, serving since 1988. He is a member of the Republican Party. The district is based in Knoxville. He was first elected to Congress in 1988, in a special election to succeed his late father, John Duncan, Sr. and elected to the seat for a full term in his own right the same day. He has been re-elected every two years since then from a district that has been held continuously by Republicans (or their antecedents) since 1859, and by a Duncan since his father was first elected in 1964.[2] He has never faced a serious or well-funded challenge for reelection, and was reelected without major-party opposition from 1994 through 2000.
