Leader Johnson also has the challenging task of leading the Senate Majority Caucus.
Since his first day in office he has proudly represented Tennessean’s conservative values.

For 2023, Leader Johnson is recognized by the Tennessee Faith & Freedom Coalition for his sponsorship of SB1, which protects children from being mutilated with certain medical procedures and treatments, SB3 – which protects children from being exposed to adult cabaret performances, SB0011 – which makes permanent certain protections against COVID-19 government overreach, and his defense of the Constitution, which includes our 2nd Amendment rights.

An attorney who is known for being tough but fair on crime, Leader Lamberth also has the difficult job of steering the House Majority Caucus.
The list of Lamberth’s legislative achievements and leadership are too lengthy to be detailed here but he certainly deserves our thanks and recognition.
Leader Lamberth is recognized by the Tennessee Faith & Freedom Coalition for his long tenure defending the unborn, the 2nd Amendment, our shared conservative values, and specifically in 2023, for good government legislation that will save the taxpayer money, for his leadership on faith based initiatives – and – for his sponsorship of HB1, which protects children from being mutilated with certain medical procedures and treatments.
TN FFC uses our Defender of Freedom awards to recognize conservative elected officials every year for contributions made to protect the rights, freedoms and values of the citizens of the great state of Tennessee.
