Elections

In 2008, Wirgau ran in the Tennessee 75th House district against Democrat incumbent Willie Borchert. Wirgau easily prevailed in a three-way Republican primary, but narrowly lost the general election to Borchert by a roughly 300-vote margin.

In 2010, Wirgau again challenged Borchert. He won the Republican primary unopposed, and later defeated Borchert in the general election winning roughly 68 percent of the district's votes.

In 2012, Wirgau ran for re-election, winning the Republican primary unopposed, and defeating Democrat Steve Wright and independent James Hart.

In 2018, Wirgau ran for re-election to a fifth term in office. However, he was defeated by Bruce Griffey in the Republican primary. Griffey went on to win the general election.
