Some of Tennessee’s most ardent conservatives will not be coming back to Nashville for the next legislative session, but Republicans still hold overwhelming super-majorities in both the House and Senate, the Nashville Post reports. In a post-election press release, House GOP leaders said they plan to focus on three issues in the new session: (1) improving public education, especially in the area of childhood literacy, (2) removing government barriers to health care to improve access and quality, while promoting affordability and (3) creating a system of justice that balances justice with mercy. Other members have announced individual priorities, including school safety, domestic violence prevention and a "right to work" constitutional amendment.
