Building an administration that reflects the priorities of Tennesseans starts with having the right people in key leadership positions.
@michael_hendrix understands the policy challenges and opportunities facing our state. He brings a depth of experience that will be important to our team as we move forward.
I am pleased to appoint him as Chief of Staff and look forward to the leadership he brings to this role!
Today, we nominated @SenJohnson for Speaker and elected @VoteDawn as Majority Leader and @MasseyForSenate as Caucus Chair.
Congratulations to these leaders! We look forward to working with you in the 115th General Assembly.

Under @POTUS’s leadership, the Working Families Tax Cuts permanently renewed and strengthened Opportunity Zones, giving investors, entrepreneurs, and local leaders the long-term certainty they need to commit capital to communities that have been overlooked for too long. Today’s announcement of the new designations will help direct private investment to these communities, expand economic opportunity, support job creation, and unlock long-term growth in these communities across the country.

Over the past eight years, Governor @BillLeeTN has focused on the issues that open doors of opportunity for our state. His leadership has laid a firm foundation for Tennessee, making our state a place where people want to live, work, and rear a family. We are all grateful for his service and leadership.
We're already hard at work on the transition, and it was a privilege to meet with Governor Lee and join him for a press conference this morning.
I'm so excited for the opportunity to build on that firm foundation and serve as your next governor!

In my new op-ed for the @Tennessean, I outline three priorities for our future: people, place and prosperity.

Excited to see the outcomes of this regional partnership and the breakthroughs it will make possible. Tennessee is proud to have @UTKnoxville and @VanderbiltU helping lead the way. 👏
Tennessee is proud to be represented by two founding members of the Southeast Regional Superintelligence (SI) Computing Consortium: @UTKnoxville and @VanderbiltU. The consortium was announced last week by the @WhiteHouse at the Science: A New Golden Age Summit. 🙌
The consortium brings together universities across the Southeast to combine resources, share capabilities and expand access to advanced computing infrastructure for scientific research. This collaboration can accelerate discovery, support commercialization and strengthen U.S. leadership in science and technology.
We’re excited to see how this effort connects Tennessee’s strengths in advanced manufacturing, energy, healthcare and logistics with partners across the region—and creates new opportunities for research, investment and high-quality jobs. 💡
