Statesmen Dinner

What an amazing weekend attending the Statesmen's Dinner, a time-honored Tennessee Republican tradition dating back almost 50 years. It is the largest state Republican Party dinner in the country and attraced over a 1,700 attendees. This year's theme, "Tennessee's Golden Age," is celebratory in nature. Like you, the Tennessee Republican Party is thrilled that Republicans secured the White House, the House of Representatives, and the Senate.

The icing on the cake for the evening was welcoming Speaker of the United States House of Representatives Mike Johnson as the keynote speaker. He has been a powerful unifying force in Congress, rallying his slim Republican majority to pass such consequential acts as, most notably, the One Big Beautiful Bill. A measured, balanced, and effective Speaker, he ensures President Trump's mandate is carried out in the legislative branch.

We had a large Shelby County presence at the dinner and with some of our attendees from Shelby Country Republican Women's Club. Thank you for representing ladies!!! Dr. Sharon Webb, Pam Proctor, Judy Kilmer, Linda Strong and guest-her sister, Janine Carney, Kristin Hicks, Kristin New, Lorrie Williams, Patti Possel, Rachel Wall, Amber Mills and guest Marilyn Loeffel.

We want to congratulate Peggy Larkin and Tim Beacham for being awarded Statesman of the Year Awards for their respective congressional districts! Bravo!
