A lobbyist. Hargett, who has been House Republican Leader since 2002, also sat on the House Ethics Committee.
He is apparently going to be in charge of lobbying efforts for pharmaceutical giant Pfizer for both Alabama and Tennessee, and is relocating to Middle Tennessee with his family.
This, of course, means we will have yet ANOTHER special election to fill a vacated Shelby County seat in the General Assembly. Should Rep. Henri Brooks win her challenge of the results of the Senate 29 Democratic primary, there could be even a fourth general election.
How much do these things cost, anyway?

"How much do these things cost, anyway?" Oh, LWC, you should know that they don't cost a thing. The government pays for it! ;-)
Seriously, if I recall correctly, by-elections like this cost something around $100,000 for the County to mount. You could ask the ShelbyCo Election Commission.
