What Is Jesse Huseth Hiding?
Court records. Late ethics filings. Out-of-state money. A résumé that doesn't add up.
District 97 deserves answers.
THE WARRANT
He's Been Hauled Into Court.
A warrant was filed against Jesse Huseth in Shelby County General Sessions Court on May 22, 2007 — Case No. 1216068. The docket records no disposition.
Jesse Huseth has never explained it publicly. District 97 is still waiting.

THE RÉSUMÉ
He's Not Who He Says He Is.
Jesse Huseth's campaign leads with his teaching career. But Shelby County Schools' own employment verification tells a different story — he taught for just 1 year, 7 months, from November 2013 to June 2015.
His full teaching career, including a second nine-month job at a private nonprofit, totals 2 years, 4 months — not the "years" his bio implies.
In the past decade he's worked several jobs. None of which are teaching.

THE ETHICS FILING
He Filed His Ethics Paperwork
64 Days Late.
Tennessee law requires candidates to file a Statement of Disclosure of Interests by April 9. Jesse Huseth filed his on June 12, 2026 — 64 days late.
This isn't a parking ticket. It's an ethics disclosure. The one document designed to show voters who is funding him and what he owns.
He couldn't be bothered to file it on time.

From Out of State.
