🚨 Moments ago, I called @RepMarkWhiteTN to let him know I’ve alerted Senate leadership that I plan to make a motion tomorrow on the Senate floor for the Lt. Governor to appoint the MSCS Local Intervention Conference Committee. This will be the final step toward passage so we can finally fix our failing school system after decades of poor management and outcomes. When I launched #MakeMemphisMatter, my goal was to tackle crime and solve our education crisis. Thanks to the Memphis Safe Task Force, crime has been cut in half. Now it’s time to fix education. I won’t back down. We have a city to save! @CSexton25 @ltgovmcnally @SenJohnson @YagerTweets @WilliamLamberth

HB 2428 will impose a MINIMUM fine of $10,000, and a MINIMUM of 60 days behind bars, for assaulting a first responder. It will also make this crime a felony. In Tennessee, we respect the law, and we will fight to protect those who enforce it.

The Memphis-Shelby County School District has been suffering for decades. The first step to righting the ship in Memphis was making it safe, and the second step is strengthening our youth. Today, we are one step closer to that goal.
