This year, legislators are looking to build upon the success of the previous session that saw wasteful government spending cut from the budget, taxes cut for all Tennesseans, measures passed to encourage job growth, and numerous government reforms.

Reedy continued, “We are all focused on working as hard as we can to make our state the best place in the nation to live, work, and raise a family. I truly believe this will be a very productive year. Unlike our peers in Washington, we get the job done here in Tennessee.”

House Speaker Beth Harwell (R–Nashville) added, “It is a pleasure guiding the House of Representatives and working alongside talented and dedicated individuals like Representative Johnson and Representative Reedy. I am confident we are going to accomplish a great deal this session for all Tennesseans.”
