    Beth Harwell Speaker State Capitol Nashville, Tennessee 37243-0104 (615)741-0709 Nashville Office of the Speaker Welcome: As Speaker of the House of Representatives for the 110 th General Assembly, and on behalf of the House members, I want to welcome you to the Tennessee State Capitol. Even with its majestic architecture and rich history, the Capitol building still serves the viable function for which it was erected. On the House floor, Tennessee Representatives work together to handle today’s most challenging issues on behalf of the citizens of Tennessee. Please remember that all Sessions of the General Assembly held in the Chamber, as well as all Committee meetings held in the Cordell Hull Building, are open to the public. I encourage you to take part in the legislative process first hand by attending a Session of the House of Representatives. If you cannot visit us in person, please keep in mind that all sessions of the Tennessee House of Representatives can be viewed from the Legislature’s website. Live and archived videos of all House floor and committee meetings can be found at www.capitol.tn.gov . Please feel free to contact the representative from your home district as you visit the Capitol and the Cordell Hull Building. All of Tennessee’s 99 representatives serve to address any concerns or questions that you may have. Again, I want to thank you for visiting the Tennessee House of Representatives. Sincerely, Beth Harwell Speaker of the House TENNESSEE House of Representatives 110 th General Assembly Beth Harwell , Speaker of the House Curtis Johnson , Speaker Pro Tempore Steve K.

  • 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.
