No one fights harder to defend our freedoms and conservative values than @VoteMarsha.  I am thrilled she has announced her bid to run for Governor – she’s got my support as she takes the fight to the Governor's Office!

The transportation modernization act of 2023 #startingtoday will double the available funding for roads and bridges in TN. That's over $6 billion for the @myTDOT budget with NO NEW DEBT. The processes will be quicker and in some areas choice lanes will be considered. Time to fill some potholes and build some roads!

Local governments #startingtoday may not dismiss, discipline, fine, or penalize a jailer or corrections officer, or deny employment to a person applying to be a jailer or corrections officer, based on where the jailer or corrections officer or applicant resides. Just makes sense.

A legislative body #startingtoday for a municipal, metropolitan, or county government must make available to the public, at no charge and at least 48 hours prior to a meeting, the agenda for the upcoming meeting in a place accessible to the public; authorizes such body to deliberate or act upon matters not listed on the agenda if the body follows its bylaws or properly adopted rules and procedures and complies with all other applicable state laws. #transparency #goodgovernment wapp.capitol.tn.gov/apps/Bil…

The deadline to get your taxes done is today! I am grateful to be in a state that knows there is no better place for taxpayers money than in their OWN pocket, which is why Tennessee will NEVER have a state income tax.
