Huffman Oliver said she benefited from high turnout and enthusiasm among Democratic Party voters, a good team and hard work, saying she had campaigned full-time for about 16 months. District 62 includes all of Brown County and portions of Monroe and Jackson counties. Huffman Oliver, 59, of Nashville, is an attorney and graduate of Indiana University’s Maurer School of Law.
