Ryan A. Haynes (b. May 8, 1985) is a former Republican member of the Tennessee House of Representatives, representing the 14th District from 2009 to May 27, 2015. He resigned his seat following his election as chairman of the Republican Party of Tennessee (TN GOP), where he served from April 2015 to December 2016.[1][2] He previously served as Assistant Majority Caucus Leader.
On April 11, 2015, it was announced that Haynes was elected chairman of the TN GOP and would resign from his seat in the Tennessee House of Representatives at the end of its legislative session in April.[3] However, at the end of April, Haynes announced he would delay his resignation from the state legislature until as late as November. Haynes had promised to resign his seat if he was elected chairman of the TN GOP, but delayed his resignation in order to save the state an estimated $175,000 to $200,000 that would be necessary for a special election. Haynes formally resigned from the state legislature on May 27, 2015.[4]
Haynes was a delegate to the 2016 Republican National Convention from Tennessee. Haynes was one of nine delegates from Tennessee bound by state party rules to support Marco Rubio at the convention.[5] Rubio suspended his campaign on March 15, 2016.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.

Delegate allocation
Tennessee had 58 delegates at the 2016 Republican National Convention. Of this total, 27 were district-level delegates (three for each of the state's nine congressional districts). District-level delegates were allocated on a proportional basis; a candidate had to win at least 20 percent of the district vote in order to be eligible to receive any of a district's delegates. If a candidate won more than 66 percent of the vote in a district, he or she received all of the district's delegates. If the winning candidate in a district won between 20 and 66 percent of the district vote, he or she received two of the district's delegates; the second place finisher received the remaining delegate (if the second place finisher did not meet the 20 percent threshold, all three delegates were allocated to the first place finisher). If no candidate met the 20 percent threshold in a district, the top three finishers each received one of the district's delegates.[16][17]
Of the remaining 31 delegates, 28 served at large. At-large delegates were allocated on a proportional basis; a candidate had to win at least 20 percent of the statewide primary vote in order to be eligible to receive any at-large delegates. If a candidate won more than 66 percent of the statewide primary vote, he or she received all of the state's at-large delegates. In addition, three national party leaders (identified on the chart below as RNC delegates) served as bound delegates to the Republican National Convention.[16][17]
