  • Tennessee Pledge” Is a Plan to Help Tennesseans Return to Work in a Safe Environment, Restore Their Livelihoods and Reboot Our State’S Economy
    Reopening Tennessee Responsibly The “Tennessee Pledge” is a plan to help Tennesseans return to work in a safe environment, restore their livelihoods and reboot our state’s economy. Fellow Tennesseans, Because of your hard work and dedication to protecting one another, Tennessee is well on its way to a methodical, data-driven, and safe economic reboot. Over the coming weeks, it’s more important than ever that we all step up, do our part and continue helping our neighbors through healthy habits, social distancing, wearing face coverings, and remembering, “when in doubt, get a test.” Thanks to our Unified-Command Group’s swift action to increase testing capability and health care capacity, we continue to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, but like the rest of our nation, we’ve taken an unprecedented economic hit with families and small businesses feeling the most pain. We know that COVID-19 has created tremendous challenges in every corner of the state, with nearly half a million Tennesseans experiencing devastating job loss across diverse industry sectors. Our Economic Recovery Group pulled together the state’s departments of tourism, economic development, and revenue, members of the Tennessee General Assembly, and business leaders to craft specific industry guidance and safely reboot our state’s economy. We’re calling this guidance the Tennessee Pledge. The Tennessee Pledge is a careful, measured approach to get our state working in a way that does not depend on heavy-handed mandates but instead works hand in hand with businesses of all sizes. As businesses take the Tennessee Pledge, they are creating a safe environment for employees and customers.

MERRILL SECRETARY OF STATE October 2, 2020 Senator Mitch McConnell 317 Russell S.O.B. Washington, DC 20510 Dear Majority Leader McConnell: Thank you for your swift action to hold hearings and to make certain that each Senator has the opportunity to consider the President’s nomination to fill the open seat on the Supreme Court of the United States. It is of utmost importance that the Supreme Court has a full nine-member court before Election Day on November 3, 2020. Maintaining the integrity and credibility of our elections is of paramount significance to each of us as our state’s respective chief election official. Americans must be able to exercise their constitutional right to vote with confidence, knowing their ballot will be counted for the candidate of their choice. In the case an election issue is challenged in court, America cannot afford a tie vote. We must be able to report election results in a timely, secure, and efficient manner as we have done before. The Honorable Amy Coney Barrett is an outstanding nominee for consideration for a vacancy on the Supreme Court of the United States. She brings with her an unblemished record and extensive experience as a litigator and distinguished professor of law at the University of Notre Dame. Her philosophy and tried and true beliefs of upholding the constitution and the laws of our nation as written make her an excellent choice for our nation’s highest court.

Each state legislature should have the freedom and flexibility to determine practices that best meet the needs of their respective states. A one-size-fits-all approach mandated by Congress is not the solution to any of our problems. These bills intrude upon our constitutional rights, and further sacrifice the security and integrity of the elections process. We firmly believe the authority to legislate and regulate these changes should be left with the states. H.R. 1 and S. 1 blatantly undermine the extensive work we, as election officials, have completed in order to provide safe, accessible voting options for our constituencies.
