Words can’t fully express the love I have for our state, our community, and this institution of Tennessee state government.
Last night, we gaveled out the 114th General Assembly, and I had the honor of making the final motion to adjourn.
In that moment, I found myself both choked up and deeply humbled, grateful beyond words for the past 16 years of service.
It has been the privilege of a lifetime, and one I will never forget.
We want to thank Chairman Cody for his service over the last seven years, and wish him the best of luck.
Now, we welcome new interim Chair, the former President of the Cocke County Federated Republican Women, Ida Baxter!
It is onward to keep our state, county, and nation red!
Effective yesterday, I have resigned my post as @CockeCountyGOP Chairman.
With the campaign now started and the May & August primaries coming up, I thought it was best after the last seven years for the executive board to have full attention directed to those primaries without any distractions.
It has been the honor of my lifetime to serve the last seven years leading this county's GOP. I began serving in the position at just 22 years old, and the experiences I got to have helping local, state, and federal governments, and most importantly, our GOP voters, was one of the biggest blessings of my career. It truly shaped me into the man I am today.
I will miss serving, but I know the Cocke County Republican Party is in good hands with my interim replacement, Ida Baxter. She will do a marvelous job, and I am excited for her.
God bless you all, and thank you for the last seven years.

We want to thank @RepFaison for his service to Cocke County, East TN, and our state over the last 16 years.
He served our county with integrity and conservative values that we hold true, and did it well.
God bless you Jeremy.
Apart from the faith in my Savior and the blessings of my wife and family, there is no greater honor in my life than serving you at the State Capitol. I am deeply grateful to the citizens of Cocke, Greene, Jefferson, and Hamblen counties for the privilege of representing you over the last 16 years and giving voice to your values in the Capitol of the greatest state in the nation.
Jeremy Faison has been a great representative for all of Cocke County, Jefferson County, Hamblen County, and Greene County when he had it.
I consider Jeremy a political mentor of mine, and someone who I would call one of my best friends in the world.
In addition, he's help lead this state in such a positive direction that I will always be so thankful to his service for.
Whatever he does next will be a venture I know he will relish in and serve TN rightly.
Love you, my brother. And thank you.

Before President @realDonaldTrump got in office, TikTok ran ammuck as a social media giant that threatened national security.
Now, he's taken the right steps to allow it to thrive in America while protecting citizens.
My thoughts in @HumanEvents:

"The next chapter is about building a Tennessee that is safer, stronger, and freer for this generation and the next. Conservative principles will enable us to achieve those goals. That is why I have said Tennessee must be America's conservative leader."
As President Trump sends power back to the states, Tennessee has a rare opportunity to reset and become America's conservative leader. Read my full op-ed below ⬇️

Tennessee is truly the Volunteer state.
We are grateful for the partnership that the @GreatSmokyNPS has with us locally and at the state level. Thank you @SecretaryBurgum for your leadership!
On September 25th, in my home of Cocke County, Tennessee, over 500 people showed up to pay tribute to @charliekirk11, honor God, and rebuke leftist violence.
I gave a speech that night as we joined in prayer and faith.
My weekend piece for @HumanEvents:

A snipbit of my speech from the @CockeCountyGOP's Charlie Kirk Candlelight Vigil on Thursday in Newport, TN.
Charlie was a Christian Martyr that was inspirational to all conservatives, Tennesseans, and proud Americans.
Our turnout was incredible. ifs was such an emotional night witnessing how many small town people that Charlie impacted.
We miss you, Charlie. Thank you for everything.
Thankful for our small town that made this happen this evening & all that made it happen.
God bless.
Tonight, the @CockeCountyGOP hosted the largest event in its history, The @charliekirk1 Candlight Vigil.
Over 500 men & women showed to pay tribute to our friend, and he so deserved it.
We sang, united in prayer, and paid tribute to a brother in Christ & conservatism.
ANNOUNCEMENT:
Next Thursday, September 25th, the Cocke County Republican Party will be hosting a Candlelight Vigil for Charlie James Kirk, remembering him for his dedication to Christ, the Church, and conservatism.
Please come join us in honoring Charlie's memory. God bless!
Good morning.
Next week, we plan to host a candlelight vigil for Charlie Kirk. Details will come soon; as well as a location and product to be bought for the event.
Our executive board will discuss this week for a plan & will let everyone know ASAP
Thank you all & God bless.
I am utterly devastated. Charlie was not only dedicated to the conservative movement here and now, but also wanted to ensure its survival as the America First movement it has become for the futures of his beautiful children and future grandchildren.
Charlie was the face of our movement.
He embodied the conservative movement that he has helped build and shape as a key component of America's renewal. If you talk to a young person, they know who Charlie Kirk is beyond a shadow of a doubt. However, if you speak to a young conservative, they will cite him as the reason they are conservative at all.
I am in deep prayer for Charlie's family and the millions of people he had such a significant impact on. He will forever be a guiding light for @HumanEvents and conservatives worldwide. He is resting with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, tonight, but we will miss you here in this life, my deeply departed friend. God bless his family and let his soul rest with Christ in heaven.
We will never forget you brother.
We all love you Charlie. I am so sorry.
Charlie Kirk is not only a beacon of conservative leadership, but an amazing man, father, husband, and Christian.
I pray for him this evening, as does our entire team over at @HumanEvents, where he is our Senior Contributor.
Pull through, @charliekirk11. Please.
This is a leftist hatred & ideology problem, not a gun issue.
Prayers do work, and I'm doing exactly that for these families tonight.
