    <BillNo> <Sponsor> SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION 517 By Gilmore A RESOLUTION to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the passage of Public Chapter 95 of 1921. WHEREAS, on April 5, 1921, Governor Alfred A. Taylor signed into law Senate Bill 737, which became Public Chapter 95 of 1921, a law that gave the women of Tennessee the right to hold public office; and WHEREAS, less than thirty years earlier, on April 29, 1893, the Tennessee Supreme Court had declared in State ex rel. v. Davidson, 92 Tenn 531; 22 S.W. 203, that "By the English or common law, no woman, under the dignity of a queen, could take part in the government of the State, and they could hold no office except parish office…"; and WHEREAS, the Tennessee Supreme Court further stated that "Although a woman may be a citizen, she is not entitled, by virtue of her citizenship, to take any part in the government, either as a voter or as an officer, independent of legislation conferring such rights upon her…. It follows that unless there is some constitutional or legislative provision enabling her to hold office, she is not eligible to the same"; and WHEREAS, in short, such ruling declared that although a woman was a citizen of the State, she had no right to vote or hold any elected office; and WHEREAS, on April 17, 1919, Governor A. H. Roberts signed into law Public Chapter 139 of 1919, "AN ACT granting women the right to vote for electors of President and Vice President of the United States, and for municipal officers"; under this law, women in Tennessee could now vote in most elections, but the bar to holding public office remained; and WHEREAS, in August 1920, Tennessee became the thirty-sixth and final state necessary to ratify the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution; women throughout the SJR0517 006838 - 1 - United States were then able to vote in the November 1920 presidential election, but women in Tennessee still had no legal right to hold public office; and WHEREAS, in a special election held in January 1921 to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Senator J.

    WUOT ELECTION 2016 BRIEFING BOOK TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 2016 WHAT’S HAPPENING TODAY? A general election for state legislative races, Congressional races and the presidential race. The governor’s office is not up for election this year, nor are Tennessee’s two U.S. Senate seats. EAST TN CONGRESSIONAL RACES • Stuart Starr (D) will challenge Rep. John Duncan (R) for U.S. House Dist. 2. It is very likely Duncan will hold on to the seat. See more on the Congressional races later in this guide. EAST TN GENERAL ASSEMBLY RACES • Sen. Becky Duncan Massey (R) is unopposed for her state Senate District 6 seat. • Gloria Johnson (D) will challenge incumbent Eddie Smith (R) for State Rep. District 13 in the general election. Johnson is Smith’s predecessor, having held the seat from 2012 to 2014. Johnson lost by about 200 votes in ’14, so this will be a very interesting race to watch. • Scott Hacker (D) will challenge incumbent Jason Zachary (R) for State Rep. District 14 in the general election. • Pete Drew (I) will challenge Democrat Rick Staples for State Rep. District 15 in the general election. Incumbent Joe Armstrong (D) resigned from the seat in August, after being convicted on federal tax evasion charges. Staples was selected to run in Armstrong’s stead. Rhonda Gallman is running a write-in campaign for the seat. She identifies as a Democrat. • Bill Dunn (R) is unopposed for State Rep. District 16. • Harry Brooks (R) is unopposed for State Rep.
