REMARKS FROM SPEAKER CAMERON SEXTON

Members, good afternoon and welcome back to Nashville. Everybody looks refreshed, which is a good thing. The 2020 legislative session is here, and I believe we are all poised for a very successful year in the Tennessee House of Representatives.

Over the last four months, I have enjoyed visiting with you and your communities. And I’m reminded every single day of how diverse and unique all three Grand Divisions are in our state and how fortunate we are to call Tennessee our home.

I admire your dedication, and your willingness to answer the call to serve others. Additionally, I appreciate our shared desire to build upon the solid foundations left behind by those who have previously served.

And we’ve had many great leaders over our years and now is the time to accept the task that lies before us — the task to propel our state, and our communities to new heights - together.

Our job is to represent — serving as the voices for all Tennesseans from middle to west to east to urban to rural.

Each and every voice is distinctive, and while we may not always agree on every issue, let’s remain respectful to one another and remember that each one of us represents 65,000 Tennesseans.

We have a tremendous opportunity to ensure Tennessee continues to grow and that our state prospers.

Thank you for your continued service, I appreciate your partnership. I am honored to serve as your speaker. I am very eager to begin and continue working along aside you for the betterment of all Tennessee.
