Career

In 2023, the Tennessee House voted on motions to remove three sitting Democratic representatives — Gloria Johnson, Justin Jones, and Justin J. Pearson — for disrupting proceedings with a protest as citizens were at the capitol voicing their outrage over a mass shooting at a Nashville school that left six dead.[2] Hicks voted in favor of all three resolutions: HR 63, to remove Pearson;[3] HR 64, to remove Johnson;[4] and HR 65, to remove Jones.[5] Pearson and Jones were expelled, while Johnson was not.[6]

Outside of politics, Hicks owns Hicks Construction. He was elected to the Tennessee House of Representatives in November 2020 after defeating incumbent James Van Huss in the August 2020 Republican primary.[7][8][9]
