Haile's Headlines - February 5-11

Speaker Pro Tempore 18th District

Sumner and Trousdale Counties

What's Happening at the Capitol

With the Governor's State of the State Address and my bills in committee, this week was eventful! My bills about removing the sunset on Safe Baby Courts and disabled decals for specialty motorcycle plates both passed unanimously in committee this week. On Thursday, SJR 906, passed the Senate, supporting Texas in its efforts to secure its border and affirm each state's constitutional right of self-defense.

As a co-sponsor of SJR 906, I support Governor Abbott and the State of Texas.

Visit with School Group

I had the opportunity to visit with some brilliant students from the Hartsville, Trousdale County area this week. We discussed the role of our bicameral legislature and the importance of local elections. It is great to see both parents and students involved with their local and state governments.

Leadership Sumner Visit

Leadership Sumner also visited the Capitol this week for their annual Legislative Visit. Representatives Garrett, Lamberth, and Slater and I had great conversations about local issues and current bills here in Nashville. They also met with Stuart McWhorter, the Commissioner of Economic and Community Development before attending the House Civil Justice Committee. I am thankful for these local leaders in Sumner County who strive to make District 18 the best it can be.

Volunteer Tennessee

Volunteer Tennessee, a group who encourages volunteerism and community service, met with me this week to discuss their programs throughout the state. We also discussed the outstanding constituents who are being recognized at their annual conference: Tanya McPherson and Rosemary Gregory! It is always great to hear about the amazing people of District 18!

Constituent Spotlight

Meet Kaiya, a constituent from Hendersonville, TN! She attends Indian Lake Elementary School, but this week, she came to visit the Capitol with her dad and Voices for a Safer Tennessee.

Kaiya, keep advocating for the principles you believe in! I can't wait to see how you change the world!
