Faison opposed to meeting size restrictions
Because of a new Nashville order restricting gatherings in an effort to control an upsurge in COVID cases, Tennessee's House Republican Caucus was forced to relocate a meeting last week, away from a rented ballroom. The group moved to a state office where it was exempt from Nashville Mayor John Cooper's order restricting gatherings to no more than eight people. Ahead of the Thanksgiving holiday and with worsening coronavirus stats, Cooper last week announced the new restrictions on social gatherings. "It's completely asinine," House GOP Caucus Chairman Jeremy Faison said. "I think the First Amendment is very clear that you can't deny people their right to assemble." Faison, of Cosby, is facing Rep. Robin Smith, of Hixson, in his re-election bid for chairman of the 73 member caucus.
