Monty Fritts (born December 10, 1963)[1] is an American politician.[2] A Republican, he represents the 32nd district in the Tennessee House of Representatives.[1]

Life and career

Fritts attended Liberty University and the University of Tennessee.[1][3]

In August 2022, Fritts defeated Teresa Pesterfield Kirkham, Keaton Bowman, Donnie Hall and Randy Childs in the Republican primary election for the 32nd district of the Tennessee House of Representatives.[4] In November 2022, he defeated Jan Hahn in the general election.[5] He succeeded Kent Calfee.

On April 5, 2023, just weeks after a deadly school shooting, he voted to move a bill forward to arm teachers.

On April 11, 2024, Frits was one of only two house members who voted against bills SB 1917 and HB 2041 that would ban marriage between biological first cousins. The bills were subsequently approved by the House and Senate. https://www.fox13memphis.com/news/bill-that-prohibits-first-cousins-marrying-each-other-passes-tennessee-general-assembly/article_c10ec67a-f833-11ee-a359-e7599e710536.html
