Jimmy Naifeh Jimmy Naifeh Speaker Speaker State Capitol State Capitol Nashville, Tennessee 37243-0181 Nashville, Tennessee 37243-0181 (615) 741-3774 (615) 741-3774 Nashville Office of the Speaker Welcome: On behalf of the 99 members of the Tennessee House of Repre- sentatives, I want to welcome you to the State Capitol and the House Chamber. 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 wel- come to meet with any of them to voice your opinion on an issue or for any other reason you may wish. Again, I want to thank you for visiting the Tennessee House of Representatives, and I hope that you enjoy your stay with us. Sincerely, Jimmy Naifeh Speaker of the House TENNESSEE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES 101st GENERAL ASSEMBLY JIMMY NAIFEH, SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE LOIS M. DeBERRY, SPEAKER PRO TEMPORE JERE L.

MERRILL SECRETARY OF STATE October 2, 2020 Senator Mitch McConnell 317 Russell S.O.B. Washington, DC 20510 Dear Majority Leader McConnell: Thank you for your swift action to hold hearings and to make certain that each Senator has the opportunity to consider the President’s nomination to fill the open seat on the Supreme Court of the United States. It is of utmost importance that the Supreme Court has a full nine-member court before Election Day on November 3, 2020. Maintaining the integrity and credibility of our elections is of paramount significance to each of us as our state’s respective chief election official. Americans must be able to exercise their constitutional right to vote with confidence, knowing their ballot will be counted for the candidate of their choice. In the case an election issue is challenged in court, America cannot afford a tie vote. We must be able to report election results in a timely, secure, and efficient manner as we have done before. The Honorable Amy Coney Barrett is an outstanding nominee for consideration for a vacancy on the Supreme Court of the United States. She brings with her an unblemished record and extensive experience as a litigator and distinguished professor of law at the University of Notre Dame. Her philosophy and tried and true beliefs of upholding the constitution and the laws of our nation as written make her an excellent choice for our nation’s highest court.

Washington, D.C. 20515 Washington, D.C. 20515 Dear Majority Leader Schumer, Minority Leader McConnell, Speaker Pelosi, and House Minority Leader McCarthy: We are writing you today to urge you to reject the “For the People Act” otherwise known as H.R. 1 or S. 1, which is a dangerous overreach by the federal government into the administration of elections. Each state legislature should have the freedom and flexibility to determine practices that best meet the needs of their respective states. A one-size-fits-all approach mandated by Congress is not the solution to any of our problems. These bills intrude upon our constitutional rights, and further sacrifice the security and integrity of the elections process. We firmly believe the authority to legislate and regulate these changes should be left with the states. H.R. 1 and S. 1 blatantly undermine the extensive work we, as election officials, have completed in order to provide safe, accessible voting options for our constituencies.
