    Tennessee Republican David Hooven has vowed not to be alone with “a member of another sex” if elected to the state’s House of Representatives, as “from Presidents to janitors all are tempted.”

    Hooven made the pledge on his official campaign website, where he said that if elected “my primary focus will be to honor God.”

    The contests in District 52 and 86 saw the re-election of two Democrats who had been expelled from the House after joining a gun control protest inside the building in March.

    Hooven made a number of vows on his campaign website, which he solemnly pledged and promised to uphold if elected.

    The election was called after Republican Representative Scotty Campbell resigned in April, after an investigation found he’d violated the legislature’s policy on workplace harassment and discrimination.

    Also on Thursday, 12 candidates ran to be the next mayor of Nashville, with Freddie O’Connell and Alice Rolli topping the poll with 27,470 and 20,458 votes respectively.
