Tonight the governor will try to paint a rosy picture, but the reality is clear: his administration has prioritized billionaires and special interests over working Tennesseans. House Democrats are focused on getting back to the basics and rebuilding Tennessee’s middle class.

On the first day of Black History Month House Dems are pausing to reflect on the theme of 2025- African Americans & Labor.

House Dems will be holding a press conference immediately following Joint Session in response to Gov. Lee’s call for a special session on vouchers, Hurricane Helene relief, and immigration. It will be live streamed on our Instagram.
