Climbing the Charts with Angie Lawless and Brandon Miller

“When you’re in the middle of the battle, to be policy-driven is smart, to be politically-driven is dangerous.” - Jeremy Faison

Few people have had a closer seat to the important issues, drama, and national and international garnering headlines involving Tennessee politics than Representative Jeremy Faison, Chairman of the Tennessee House Republican Caucus. Representative Faison discusses what drew him into politics and what it’s like to be a leader of a party now enjoying a supermajority. In a Paul Harvey fashion, Faison weighs in with the “rest of the story” on the alleged complaint against him noted in the recent Chancellor Perkins opinion, his now infamous “pantsing” incident, what people fail to understand about Speaker of the House Cameron Sexton and even the recent “whistling” episode involving the high school girls’ Picket County Bobcat Team. Beyond that, Faison, a libertarian, addresses many of the issues that have been presented during the current legislative session.
