The Tennessee Coalition to End Domestic & Sexual Violence will honor state Rep. Jim Coley, R-Bartlett, in October for his advocacy on behalf of human trafficking victims and their families. The group says that Coley is a “tireless advocate” for women and children. “Though his hard work and commitment, Tennessee has some of the best laws in the country to address domestic violence and human trafficking,” the group’s executive director told the Daily Memphian. The recognition will take place at the group’s Pearls and Pinstripes Gala set for Oct. 4 at the Music City Center. Coley, the chairman of the House Higher Education Subcommittee, has announced he will not seek re-election in 2020.
