  • <Billno> <Sponsor> SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION 517 by Gilmore A
    <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.

  • 2020 Tennessee General Election Results
    2020 Tennessee General Election Results President: As the nation awaits to see who the next President will be Tennessee was quickly called for President Trump Tuesday evening. Though the President underperformed in Tennessee compared to his numbers in 2016, he still decidedly carried the State with 61% of the vote. Joe Biden carried only three counties in Tennessee: Davidson, Shelby and Haywood. U.S. Senate: Just as Tennessee voting Red for President Trump was no surprise; it was no surprise that Republican Bill Hagerty won big against Democrat Marquita Bradshaw. Bill Hagerty will replace retiring Senator Lamar Alexander. Bill Hagerty is a lifelong Tennessean who has filled various roles in the private sector with a great deal of success and has served as Tennessee Economic and Community Development Commission under Governor Haslam and U.S. Ambassador to Japan under President Trump. Hagerty received the endorsement of President Trump and defeated Dr. Manny Sethi in the primary. U.S. House: All eight of Tennessee’s incumbents were re-elected with little opposition. Tennessee will have a new face in Congress in Diana Harshbarger, who won the Republican Primary for Congressional District 1 to fill the seat left open by retiring Congressman Phil Roe. Diana is a pharmacist from Kingsport. State Senate: Senate District 20: Senator Steve Dickerson, a Republican from Nashville was defeated by Democrat Heidi Campbell, mayor of Oak Hill. Experts knew this race would be close as the district is a democrat district by close to 9 points. Though Senator Dickerson was a left leaning Republican, his voting record was not enough to save him from the anti-Trump voter turnout seen in Davidson County.

  • Election Night Briefing Book
    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. District 19. • Heather Hensley (D) will challenge incumbent Roger Kane (R) for State Rep.

  • House Education Committee to Consider a Last-Minute Seventeen Page Amendment
    Volume 21, No. 11 for the week ending May 6, 2011 Finance Committee Temporarily Delays Negotiations Repeal Bill Far From Dead -- Numerous Contacts Needed Immediately! On Tuesday, May 3, HB 130, the bill which would repeal the 1978 Education Professional Negotiations Act, was re-referred back to the House Education Committee to consider a last-minute seventeen page amendment. Making the motion to re-refer the bill was Rep. Jimmy Eldridge (R- Jackson). All teachers owe Rep. Eldridge a “thank you” for his support. The vote to re-refer the bill was 14 “Yes”, 11 “No.” Those voting “Yes” (for TEA’s position) were: Representatives, Joe Armstrong (D-Knoxville), Tommie Brown (D-Chattanooga), Scotty Campbell (R-Mountain City), Jim Coley (R-Bartlett), Lois DeBerry (D-Memphis), Jimmy Eldridge (R-Jackson), Craig Fitzhugh (D-Ripley), Mike Harrison (R- Rogersville) Larry Miller (D-Memphis), Jimmy Naifeh (D-Covington), Gary Odom (D-Nashville), Dennis Roach (R-Rutledge), Johnny Shaw (D-Bolivar), and Harry Tindell (D-Knoxville). Those voting “No” (against TEA’s position) were: Representatives David Alexander (R- Winchester), Harry Brooks (R-Knoxville), Kevin Brooks (R-Cleveland), Joe Carr (R-Lascassas), Steve Hall (R-Knoxville), David Hawk (R-Greeneville), Curtis Johnson (R-Clarksville), Judd Matheny (R- Tullahoma), Gerald McCormick (R-Chattanooga), Steve McDaniel (R-Parkers Crossroads), and Charles Sargent (R-Franklin). TEA members are strongly urged to thank members who voted “Yes” to re-refer the bill. The House Education Committee is scheduled to meet on Tuesday, May 1, 4:00 p.m. in Room 16 of the Legislative Plaza. It would be very helpful to have a number of TEA supporters in attendance at this meeting.

  • A Student's Guide to the Tennessee
    The MembersA of theStudent’s Senate Guide to the Tennessee Senate 2013 Edition Welcome to the Tennessee Senate. Thank you for your interest in your government. My name is Ron Ramsey. I am the Lieutenant Governor of Tennessee. I have this job because a majority of my fellow senators voted for me to be their leader, or “Speaker.” Unlike many other states, Tennessee’s Lieutenant Governor is also head of its Senate. My duties as both Speaker of the Senate and Lieutenant Governor keep me very busy. However, because I am a state Senator, my job is officially part-time. Having a part-time legislature is good because it allows elected officials to spend time living and working under the laws they make and with the people they represent. When the legislature is not in session I run a real estate and auction business with my wife, Sindy, in my hometown of Blountville, which is right on the border between Virginia and Tennessee. It is a wonderful town and I am glad to be able to spend time there when the legislature is not in session. If you visit the Capitol on a day when the legislature is in session, you will see me presiding over the Senate. I have a gavel, and I do my best to keep Senate sessions moving along quickly and efficiently so my members can get back home to their families and businesses. I also make all of the Senate’s committee assignments. Much of the Senate’s work goes on in committees so it is important to have the right people working on the right issues.
