Key Legislators
The State & Local Government committees in the House and the Senate are the keys to our success. Tennessee will never have wine in food stores without majority support from these influential legislators.
The members of each committee are listed below. We’ve added links to their campaign emails, as well as their Facebook pages and Twitter accounts if they have them. (By the way, you can find all the legislators’ Twitter handles on our Twitter list.)
It’s especially important that these legislators hear from their own constituents. They care most about what the voters in their districts think about this issue.
*Indicates sub-committee member. These individuals are especially important to the outcome of the wine in retail food stores legislation.
