Tennessee Delegation of The Democratic National Committee
The delegation of each state to the Democratic National Committee (DNC) consists of the highest-ranking elected male and female within the state’s Democratic Party. These ranking members for the Tennessee Democratic Party are Chip Forrester and Elisa Parker. As determined by the DNC’s rules Tennessee has been given three additional members. The three additional members are elected, and serve a four-year term by the Tennessee Democratic Executive Committee. The elections are held in accordance with the national party rules. The rules call for elections to be held during the calendar year in which a Democratic National Convention is held. These members of Tennessee’s delegation are expected to represent Tennessee on all matters which come before the committee.

“The two great points of difference between a democracy and a republic are: first, the delegation of the government, in the latter, to a small number of citizens elected by the rest; secondly, the greater number of citizens and greater sphere of country over which the latter may be extended.”
—James Madison (1751–1836)
“Follow me if I advance
Kill me if I retreat
Avenge me if I die.”
—Mary Matalin, U.S. Republican political advisor, author, and James Carville b. 1946, U.S. Democratic political advisor, author. All’s Fair: Love, War, and Running for President, epigraph (from a Vietnamese battle cry)
“I, with other Americans, have perhaps unduly resented the stream of criticism of American life ... more particularly have I resented the sneers at Main Street. For I have known that in the cottages that lay behind the street rested the strength of our national character.”
—Herbert Hoover (1874–1964)
“In America every woman has her set of girl-friends; some are cousins, the rest are gained at school. These form a permanent committee who sit on each other’s affairs, who “come out” together, marry and divorce together, and who end as those groups of bustling, heartless well-informed club-women who govern society. Against them the Couple of Ehepaar is helpless and Man in their eyes but a biological interlude.”
—Cyril Connolly (1903–1974)
