    <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.

  • S/L Sign on Letter Re: Rescue Plan State/Local
    February 17, 2021 U.S. House of Representatives Washington, D.C. 20515 U.S. Senate Washington, D.C. 20510 Dear Members of Congress: As elected leaders representing communities across our nation, we are writing to urge you to take immediate action on comprehensive coronavirus relief legislation, including desperately needed funding for states, counties, cities, and schools, and an increase in states’ federal medical assistance percentage (FMAP). President Biden’s ambitious $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan will go a long way towards alleviating the significant financial strain COVID-19 has placed on our states, counties, cities, and schools, and the pocketbooks of working families. Working people have been on the frontlines of this pandemic for nearly a year and have continued to do their jobs during this difficult time. Dedicated public servants are still leaving their homes to ensure Americans continue to receive the essential services they rely upon: teachers and education workers are doing their best to provide quality education and keep their students safe, janitors are still keeping parks and public buildings clean, while healthcare providers are continuing to care for the sick. Meanwhile, it has been ten months since Congress passed the CARES Act Coronavirus Relief Fund to support these frontline workers and the essential services they provide. Without significant economic assistance from the federal government, many of these currently-middle class working families are at risk of falling into poverty through no fault of their own. It is a painful irony that while many have rightly called these essential workers heroes, our country has failed to truly respect them with a promise to protect them and pay them throughout the crisis.
