Hendrell Remus is an American political figure. On January 16, 2021, he became the first Black man or woman to be elected party chair in Tennessee history[1] and at 34 years old, he was also the youngest.[2] Remus served as an Ex-officio member of the Tennessee Democratic Party's Executive Committee and as the National Committeeman for the TN Young Democrats.

Remus' interest in politics was driven by volunteerism that led him into the 2008 campaign of Barack Obama.[3]

Prior to becoming chair, Remus worked as the assistant director of emergency management at Tennessee State University,[4] a role that followed his tenure as the Middle TN Operations Manager for Allied Universal.

He is a native of Memphis[5] and a graduate of Excelsior College. He resides in Nashville, Tennessee with his wife Marlene Remus and their two children Dylan and Ava.
