Thank
you,
mr
speaker.
It
is
so
great
to
be
back
in
these
wonderful
facilities
here
and
I
do
miss
each
and
every
one
of
you

and
we
wish
the
new
members
a
great
success
up
here.
I
know
you'll
do
a
good
job,
all
of
you
and
continue
working
together
and
doing
the
great
things
that
you're
doing
for
our
great
state
of
tennessee,
and
it
is
an
honor

privilege

I
thought
I
was
enjoying
my
retirement
for
about
two
years
till
I
got
that
call
from
the
former
state
election
commission.
Jamie
wallace
asked
me
if
I'd
be
interested
in
that,
I
said:
what
does
it
pay?
Is
it
full
time
he
says
it's
part-time
pay,
full-time
work,
but
all
can
decide
it's
an
honor
to
be
there
and
I'll
serve
faithfully
on
this
commission
and
make
sure
that
our
elections
are
run
correctly
and
with
high
integrity
with
the
rest
of
the
state
of
tennessee.
So
thank
you
very
much.
It's
an
honor
to
be
here.
