His father, a 2015 candidate for Nashville mayor, is a real estate executive, Tennessee Democratic donor, and the CEO and co-founder of Freeman Webb Co.[2][3] Freeman earned his B.S. from Middle Tennessee State University, and graduated from Lipscomb University with an M.S. before pursuing a career in real estate.[1] He served as vice president for real estate investment and development with the Forestar Group, Inc. before he co-founded the energy consulting and sustainable construction firm Freeman Applegate Partners in 2013.[3] Freeman is married, has three children, and is a Presbyterian.[1]
Campaign for the Tennessee House of Representatives 56th District Seatedit
Freeman reported his decision to run for the house seat for the 56th District after the incumbent Republican Beth Harwell announced that she would seek the GOP nomination for the 2018 Tennessee gubernatorial election.[3] He began his campaign as the only Democratic candidate for the seat in November, 2017, competing for the affluent Nashville district with the dermatologist Dr. Brent Moody, who won the Republican primaries against the lawyer Joseph Williams with 55.5 percent of the vote.[2][4][5][6] During his campaign, Freeman cited education, traffic congestion, infrastructure, and the opioid crises as the state's primary concerns, and stressed the necessity of bipartisanship in his public appearances.[3] Freeman won the race for the 56th district with 51.4 percent of the vote; his seat became one of two that Democrats flipped in the 2018 elections.[2][6]
