The convention honored Representative Clemmons for his legislative work on behalf Tennessee families, presenting him with a resolution noting his sponsorship of bills dealing with transportation, affordable housing, mental health, and women’s rights.

Representative Clemmons sponsored a pay equity bill in 2017 which unfortunately did not make it out of committee, and he is sponsoring another pay equity bill this session. He stated that he will continue to advocate for pay equity until it becomes a reality in our state.

He feels that he doesn’t represent just the constituents in his his district, but all the residents of Tennessee, and that if his children ask him some day what he did in the legislature, he will tell them that he worked hard and did his best to make our state a better place for everyone.
