Kevin Vaughan (born April 30, 1962) is an American real estate broker and politician from the state of Tennessee. A Republican, Vaughan has represented the 95th district of the Tennessee House of Representatives, based in Collierville in the suburbs of Memphis, since 2017.[1][2]

Career

In February 2017, Mark Lovell resigned from the 95th district of the Tennessee House of Representatives due to allegations of inappropriate sexual conduct, and a special election was called to replace him. Vaughan narrowly won the seven-way April Republican primary with 27% of the vote to his nearest opponent's 26%; he went on to easily win the June general election over Democrat Julie Byrd Ashworth with 62% of the vote.[3][4] Vaughan was overwhelmingly elected to his first full term in 2018 against Democrat Sanjeev Memula.[5]

In 2023, Vaughan supported a resolution to expel three Democratic lawmakers from the legislature for violating decorum rules. The expulsion was widely characterized as unprecedented.[6]

Personal life

Vaughan lives in Collierville with his wife, Johnna, with whom he has two children.[7]
