Senator Dolores Gresham

.@GovBillLee highlights the importance of students being ready to enter the workforce, attend college or earn a high-quality industry credential: “To me, education isn't just about a test score.” #TNSOTS

.@GovBillLee: “Moving the needle on early childhood literacy requires more than talk - that’s why I’m also proposing an additional investment of $70 million to make sure teachers have what they need to accomplish the task at hand.” #TNSOTS

.@GovBillLee: “This year, I’m proposing the largest investment in K-12 teacher salaries in Tennessee history. My budget sets aside $117 million additional dollars for teachers, an amount equal to a 4% increase in the state’s contribution to teacher salaries.” #TNSOTS

I believe that every human life is precious, and we have a responsibility to stand up for our most vulnerable. Today, Tennessee takes a monumental step towards celebrating, cherishing, and defending life at every stage. tn.gov/governor/news/…

.@SenGresham: “I am very excited about the new jobs coming into Henderson County as a result of the expansion of @Adient. This is a large investment that will have far reaching positive effects on our local economy."

Tennessee is doing well. Fiscal discipline, spending restraint, and dedication to continuous improvement are essential to sustain our success in good and in not-so-good times.@tnsenate @TNGOP @hcgoptn @VolckerAlliance @mcwhorters @ltgovmcnally @GovBillLee @SusanMLynn @dflessner1

Gov. Lee: “We all know teachers are a remarkable group of people...we need to do a lot more to support them more than we’ve done. And even that is only one piece. We have to invest in and support our principals - the CEOs of their schools.” #TNBestforALL #Priority3
