Full profile
Timothy Lanier is running as a Democrat for the U.S. House in Tennessee’s 4th Congressional District. The contested general election is scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026, and the race includes 12 candidates.
Lanier’s candidacy
Lanier’s candidate record identifies him as a Democrat seeking the Tennessee congressional seat. No biography is on file, so the record does not identify his personal history, education, occupation or previous public service.
Lanier also has no documented policy positions on file. That means no stance can be assigned to him on any issue from the official record. Figures for funds raised, funds spent and cash on hand are not on file.
The full candidate field
Lanier is one of 12 candidates listed in the contested TN-4 general election. The field includes two independents, four Democrats, one candidate identified with the GOP and five Republicans. Each candidate has no biography, campaign finance figures or documented policy positions on file.

Where the candidates stand
None of the 12 candidates has a documented policy position on file. The record therefore does not establish where Lanier, Faircloth, Anders, Larson, Arnold, Neal, Broderick, Cortese, Davis, Desjarlais, James or Jones stands on any specific issue.
Party labels are listed for every candidate, but the candidates’ individual views cannot be determined from those labels alone. A documented position would be needed to describe a candidate as supporting or opposing a particular policy.
Campaign money and election date
No figures are on file for money raised, money spent or cash on hand for any candidate in the race. That applies equally to Faircloth, Lanier, Anders, Larson, Arnold, Neal, Broderick, Cortese, Davis, Desjarlais, James and Jones.
The next listed event for the contested race is the Tennessee general election on Nov. 3, 2026. Voters in Tennessee’s 4th Congressional District will decide the U.S. House contest on that date.
