Senate Speaker and Lt. Gov. Randy McNally confirmed to the Tennessee Lookout that he plans to run for re-election to the post in 2024. The Oak Ridge Republican, however, did not guarantee he would seek another term representing District 5, which contains Anderson and Loudon counties and a portion of Knox County. Some had expected McNally not to run for the leadership position again after facing down a no-confidence vote earlier this year. Leadership changes are being made by the House Democratic Caucus as Rep. Torrey Harris, D-Memphis, and Rep. Ronnie Glynn, D-Clarksville, have been elevated to floor leader and treasurer, respectively. Harris replaces the late Bill Beck of Nashville, and Glynn takes the spot of Rep. Gloria Johnson, who left her post to focus on a U.S. Senate campaign.
