CHRIS SPENCER FOR TN STATE SENATE DISTRICT 18

NEW LEADERSHIP DELIVERING RESULTS FOR OUR COMMUNITY

​

Since 1991, Chris has been at the helm of a widely recognized business in the realm of college basketball. His years of dedication saw the organization of thousands of games globally, establishing him as a prominent figure in the industry. Now, he aims to undertake a more profound role - serving his kin and community in Tennessee.
Born in 1966, Chris' early life unfolded in Cincinnati, Ohio, with his schooling completed at Finneytown High School. His love for basketball was evident from a young age, culminating in his status as a top-tier player and record-breaking scorer. The Greater Cincinnati Basketball Hall of Fame honored him as one of the decade's top ten players in the 1980s. Chris' college career blended his sports prowess with academic achievement, earning a business degree from Shawnee State University in 1990. The same year brought an even more joyous event - his marriage to Lisa. Their love story has blossomed over thirty-three years and anyone who knows Lisa will attest that Chris has indeed won life's lottery. The couple has been blessed with two beautiful daughters, Caitlin and Brenna, and in recent years, three delightful grandchildren.
Chris' political journey began with casting his first vote for President Ronald Reagan in 1984, and since then, he has remained steadfast in upholding his Christian and Constitutional values. Chris and Lisa relocated to Sumner County in 2004 and found their spiritual home at First Baptist Hendersonville. By 2019, Chris became a founding member of the Sumner County Constitutional Republicans, and he contributes to the community as a board member of Hendersonville Homebound Meals, a remarkable organization that delivers over a hundred hot meals daily.
The COVID-19 pandemic tested us all in myriad ways, and it was often government overreach that amplified the hardship rather than the virus itself. Chris believes that individual liberties should remain paramount, even in times of crises declared by the government. His mission is to stand up for the people, advocating for clear limitations on government overreach.
