  • 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.

    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.

Children cannot learn in a classroom where their teachers spend a significant amount of time dealing with student discipline issues.

Our organization has raised this issue across the state for the last decade and it has been a national issue for the last 30 years. Finally, legislators in the Tennessee General Assembly are waking up to the fact that it is time we tackle this complex issue that is driving good educators from our classrooms. As an organization, Professional Educators of Tennessee is grateful for the legislators who support those on the frontlines. Here are a few of the bills we support: • Representative Charlie Baum and Senator Bill Powers have legislation House Bill 2693/Senate Bill 2437 that confers civil immunity upon a teacher, principal, school employee, or school bus driver properly using reasonable force to correct or restrain a student or prevent bodily harm or death to another person.

During your visit, I hope you will take the time to observe the exquisite historical architecture you will find throughout the Capitol. Despite the stately appearance of the Capitol building, you will find that it serves the viable function for which it was erected in 1855. The House Chamber, in conjunction with the Legislative Plaza, is where your state legislators meet to study, debate, and pass the laws of Tennessee. Please remember that all Sessions of the General Assembly held in the Chamber, as well as all meetings held in the Legislative Plaza, are open to the public. I encourage you to attend a Session of the House of Representatives so that you can see how the legislative process works. I also encourage you to visit the state representative from your home district. You are more than welcome to meet with any of them to voice your opinion on an issue or for any other reason you may wish. If you are unable to attend a House Session, you can view our live video streaming through our website at www.legislature.state.tn.us. At this website, under the House menu, you can find a direct link to our live video streaming.
