  • November 12, 2020 to All Tennesseans, the Tennessee
    November 12, 2020 To all Tennesseans, The Tennessee House Republican Caucus unequivocally and staunchly stands with President of the United States Donald J. Trump in demanding that all legal ballots, and only legal ballots, be counted in the 2020 presidential election. Voting is one of the most fundamental pieces of our American republic. One person equals one vote in a system that grants justice and equality for all in deciding our government. In an election where there are alleged examples of voter fraud and malpractice, Tennessee Republicans stand with the rule of law. We shall not accept the idea that the national media or the political elite have the official say on the winner of any election, let alone the presidency. It is up to the official systems put in place by the constitution and by the people. When there are alleged software glitches, lost or destroyed ballots, and questionable practices implemented in some areas of the country, litigation must have a day in court to decide the outcome of this election process. We uphold the idea of protecting the rights of all Americans, liberal or conservative, to have their voices heard. After all legal ballots are counted and any illegal ballots are removed, we support confirming the victor. A peaceful transition to the next term, whether it be the incumbent or the challenger, is paramount to our system of government. We stand with all Tennesseans in defending the integrity of elections. We are asking for the election process to have the ability to finish before prematurely declaring a winner.

  • Tennessee 2018 Midterm General Election Results
    Special Report Tennessee 2018 Midterm General Election Results Tennessee Chamber of Commerce & Industry’s Morning after Report: 2018 General Election Results For the 2018 election cycle, Tennessee was front and center on the national stage with observers pondering whether a tumultuous political environment would impact a southern state United States Senate race that many pundits noted could help decide control of the upper chamber. In addition, an open Gubernatorial race, three open U.S. House seats and record number of retirements in the state legislature further stoked record midterm voter turnout and spending. Final spending tabulations for all elections this cycle are estimated to total $120 million with approximately $65 million spent on the U.S. Senate race alone. Tennesseans cast over 2.1 million votes this cycle compared to 1.3 million in the 2014 midterm elections. For Tennessee’s business community, the 2018 election ushers in a new era of leadership in Tennessee in the Governor’s office, the Tennessee General Assembly, a U.S. Senator and three freshman U.S. Representatives. We are proud of the effort we put in this cycle to encourage business engagement and educate candidates about business issues and look forward to working with our new leaders to ensure a smooth transition. It is crucially important that our new leaders work to maintain and enhance both Tennessee’s and our nation’s business climate with a deeper focus on workforce development and strong business policies creating climate for economic growth. Let’s take a look at the election results. Republicans Hold Tennessee: Win U.S.

  • Tennessee 2018 Primary Election Results
    Special Report Tennessee 2018 Primary Election Results Tennessee Chamber of Commerce & Industry’s Morning after Report: 2018 Primary Election On Thursday, August 2, 2018, Tennessee voters went to the polls to elect primary nominees for state and federal offices. For Tennessee’s business community, 2018 is a significant election cycle that will usher in a new era of leadership in Tennessee to the Governor’s office, the Tennessee General Assembly and a number of new congressional members. The Tennessee Chamber has been working to ensure this transition is smooth for business, meeting with candidates and talking to them about important business issues. It is crucially important that our new leaders work to maintain and enhance Tennessee’s business climate with continued focus on workforce development and a strong business policy climate for economic growth. Let’s look at the primary winners and begin to assess the general election matchups. Governor – After a total of eight years in office, term limited Governor Bill Haslam’s retirement spurred a vigorous multi-candidate primary race for both the Democratic and Republican nominations. Both primaries have been highly contested setting new records for campaign spending (over $51 million). Most attention has focused on high profile Republican candidates, who have spent the most and where the available polling data showed a tight race heading into Election Day. In the end political outsider Bill Lee decisively won the Republican nomination over former ECD Commissioner Randy Boyd, U.S. House member Diane Black and TN House Speaker Beth Harwell, respectively. In the Democratic primary former Nashville Mayor Karl Dean captured 75% of the vote and cruised to victory over State Representative Craig Fitzhugh.
