I don't know why, but I kind of find it cool that my district is home to both the Speaker of the House and the Senate Majority Leader for the State of Tennessee. Also, both ascended to their roles when the General Assembly convened on Tuesday.
I'm not even sure if there are other states where the districts overlap, but I thought this would be interesting.
Wow. Congrats on having almost zero representation in your state legislature. Party leaders are notoriously ill-equipped at delivering the goods for their constituents, having to instead spend all of their time in the media and whipping votes.
