McNally is guest speaker at AC Republican Party meeting


LT. GOV. RANDY McNALLY
The Republican party of Anderson County will hold its monthly meeting at 7 p.m. Thursday. May 26.

Tennessee Lt. Gov. Randy McNally will be the guest speaker as the group continues the push toward the Aug. 4 election.

McNally has represented the Fifth Senate District for more than 30 years, making a crucial impact while also working as a pharmacist at Methodist Medical Center until 2010, the party said.

His biography at capitol.tn.gov says his passion became the Finance, Ways, and Means Committee while he was serving as a state representative for Anderson County, the party said, adding that he carried that passion forward, becoming known as a “finance and budget expert,” making his greatest impact on the state by making sure the budget is balanced with its Triple-A credit rating.

In 2017, he was elected as speaker of the Senate, which also carries the title and office of lieutenant governor, making him first in line to step in as governor should anything unexpected occur with Gov. Bill Lee.

The meeting will be held at 635 Hillcrest St., the Clinton Church of God.

The community is welcome to attend.

Chairwoman Myra Mansfield will answer any questions at 865-712-8027.
