Tennessee Senate Judiciary Assignments

Most of the 2nd Amendment legislation goes through the House and Senate Judiciary committees. I received this afternoon information that the Senate Judiciary has been appointed.

Chair - Senator Mae Beavers ® 308 WMB 741-2421 sen.mae.beavers@capitol.tn.gov

Vice Chair - Senator Doug Jackson (D) 10 LP 741-4499 sen.doug.jackson@capitol.tn.gov

Secretary - Senator Doug Overby ® 320 WMB 741-0981 sen.doug.overbey@capitol.tn.gov

Senator Diane Black ® 306 WMB 741-1999 sen.diane.black@capitol.tn.gov

Senator Dewayne Bunch ® 312 WMB 741-3730 sen.dewayne.bunch@capitol.tn.gov

Senator Mike Faulk ® 310 WMB 741-2061 sen.mike.faulk@capitol.tn.gov

Senator Jim Kyle (D) 9A LP 741-4167 sen.jim.kyle@capitol.tn.gov

Senator Beverly Marrero (D) 11A LP 741-9128 sen.beverly.marrero@capitol.tn.gov

Senator Paul Stanley ® 302 WMB 741-3036 sen.paul.stanley@capitol.tn.gov

Note: It is possible that the office assignments will change during the recess.

I am generally pleased with the list. Senator Beavers and her husband are BOTH TFA life members. Senator Jackson is an active shooter, a personal friend, and has helped us quite a bit by sponsoring much of the 2nd Amendment legislaton as well as encouraging other Senate and House members to do the same. As has been the case over the last few years, we should do well in the Senate.

Of course, predicting our course in the House depends greatly on not only committee assignments but also the degree of actual control that Naifeh, Odom and Turner will hold relative to the new Speaker Williams. Although Speaker Williams has publicly said that the "gun bills" would come to the floor for a vote, we do not know if that is all of them or just a few nor do we know what form they will be in.

State Senator Mike Faulk has spoken to the Lakeway TFA chapter and was well received. All indications are that he will be a strong supporter of our gun rights.

I'm really waiting to see the committee assignments in the House since that is where the bills have been killed each year.

These senate appointments do look fairly good.
