Early life and career
Diana Harshbarger was born in Kingsport, Tennessee on January 1, 1960, and grew up in Bloomingdale. She attended East Tennessee State University, earning a bachelor's degree and later obtaining a Doctor of Pharmacy degree in Mercer University.
A licensed pharmacist, Harshbarger and her husband Robert operate a pharmacy. The latter has elicited controversy for previously mislabeling Chinese drugs as produced in the United States, which he pleaded guilty to.[2]

2020 election
Harshbarger announced on May 12, 2020, her run for Congress in the first congressional district of Tennessee to succeed retiring Republican Phil Roe.[3] She received the endorsement of the Susan B. Anthony List[4] as well as Donald Trump[5] for her bid.
After handily winning the Republican primary,[2][6] Harshbarger faced Democrat nominee Blair Walsingham, who ran on the insistence of being a "moderate Democrat".[7] Harshbarger easily won the open seat in the district has consistently been strongly Republican since the Civil War.[8]
Tenure
In contrast to the state's two Republican senators,[9] Harshbarger maintained her decision[10] in voting to object to the Biden electors in the 2020 U.S. presidential election for the states of Arizona and Pennsylvania.[11][12] This was following a mob during a peaceful Trump rally at Washington, D.C. that violently broke into the United States Capitol Building, after which many Republicans who had planned to object didn't do so. Harshbarger strongly denounced and condemned the breaking and entering,[13] which was very likely instigated by paid protesters/Antifa infiltrators.[14][15]
Personal life
Harshbarger currently lives in Kingsport with her husband Robert. The couple have one child and two grandchildren.[16] A Christian and Sunday School teacher,[1] she has emphasized on the importance of faith.[17]
