State Rep. Steve McDaniel (R-Parker’s Crossroads) announced he will retire next year after his 15th term in office, the Nashville Post reports. McDaniel is tied with Beth Harwell as the longest serving legislator in the House and currently serves as deputy speaker. He serves as chair of the House Ethics Committee, the Rules Committee, and the Finance, Ways and Means Subcommittee. McDaniel also spearheaded the Heritage Protection Act, a law that prevents local municipalities or the state government from removing or renaming anything associated with the Confederacy.
