An Open Letter to TNMBA Members from Tennessee Senate Majority Leader, Senator Jack Johnson.
Wednesday, October 16th, 2019
Congratulations on taking an active role with the Tennessee Mortgage Bankers Association (TNMBA)! Groups such as TNMBA truly play a vital role in the Legislative process. My legislative colleagues and I come from a wide variety of life experiences, each with our own policy niches and areas of expertise. TNMBA and other interest groups like it play an important role in helping to educate Members such as myself on those policies coming before the General Assembly that are particularly important to their industry.
Political Action Committees (PACs) are an important part of any interest group’s advocacy plan. PAC funding can go a long way to help spread TNMBA’s message and support candidates whose positions further the mission of your organization. Having the benefit of a banking and finance background, I know firsthand how important the mortgage lending industry is to the economy of our state. I also believe that Tennesseans and Tennessee businesses are best served by a mortgage lending industry that adheres to strict professional and ethical business practices. As the former chairman of the senate commerce and labor committee, I worked closely with members of TNMBA to further this goal whenever legislation impacting the mortgage lending industry came before the Committee. Your participation with TNMBA’s PAC is an important step to ensure your organization’s mission is well represented on the Hill!
Thank you for all the hard work your organization does. As always, if I can ever be of assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Senator Jack Johnson
Senate Majority Leader
