Stephen Lee Fincher

Stephen Lee Fincher (born February 7, 1973) is a former American politician who represented Tennessee’s 8th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives. A member of the Republican Party, he served three terms in Congress, holding office from January 5, 2011, to January 3, 2017. During this period, he was part of Tennessee’s congressional delegation and participated in the legislative work of the House as a representative of a largely rural and small-town district in West Tennessee.

Fincher’s tenure in Congress spanned the 112th, 113th, and 114th Congresses. As a Republican representative from Tennessee’s 8th District, he was aligned with his party’s priorities during a time marked by debates over federal spending, economic recovery, and the role of government. Although specific committee assignments and legislative initiatives are not detailed in the available information, his six years in office positioned him within the broader Republican effort to shape national policy in the early to mid-2010s. Fincher left Congress at the conclusion of his third term in January 2017 and has since been regarded as a historical member of Congress from Tennessee.
