Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee joined with Utah Gov. Spencer Cox at an event in Nashville this week to promote Cox’s “Disagree Better” initiative. The governors, both Republicans, currently hold leadership positions in two gubernatorial associations. Cox is chair of the National Governors Association, while Lee heads the Republican Governors Association. Cox launched the initiative as part of his year in office and is holding events to spotlight how Americans can work through their differences to find solutions to difficult problems facing states and the nation. At the Nashville event, Lee said, “We can disagree and stand firm for our beliefs and principles, but we should never forget the dignity of the other human being. I’m proud to join governors across the nation in demonstrating that civility is not a weakness — it’s the Tennessee Way and the American Way.”
