Selection of Constitutional Officers

The General Assembly is close to finishing its organizational session and is expected to adjourn for three weeks. This morning, the House and Senate met in joint session to select the constitutional offices of Secretary of State, Treasurer and Comptroller of the Treasury. Tre Hargett was selected as Secretary of State, Justin Wilson as Comptroller and David Lillard as Treasurer.

As an organization, we offer special congratulations to David Lillard, Shelby County Commissioner, board member and past president of the Tennessee County Commissioners Association. We will miss his service, knowledge, wisdom and professionalism on our board and wish him the best in his new endeavor.

I also wish to express heartfelt thanks to out-going Secretary of State Riley Darnell, Treasurer Dale Sims and Comptroller John Morgan for their many years of dedicated service to the citizens of Tennessee.
