This is my third week on the job as your new Chairman of the Tennessee Republican Party. As promised, I have hit the ground running and we are off to a great start.

We have been building a team and putting in the processes to prepare us for victory in the 2010 elections. My agenda is one thing: building our Republican majorities in the General Assembly and electing a Republican governor. We have had success in Tennessee by standing firm to our principles as a Party, and it is my intention to find the best candidates who will stand for those principles and put them in a position to win next November.
