CHAIRMAN OF THE TENNESSEE DEMOCRATIC PARTY ANNOUNCES DECISION TO RESIGN; CITES DESIRE TO RETURN TO PROFESSION
(Nashville, Tenn.)—In an announcement released today, Chairman Randy Button has stated his decision to resign as Chairman of the Tennessee Democratic Party. His decision stems from his desire to return to the real estate business. In a statement, Chairman Button said,
“My term as the Chairman of the Tennessee Democratic Party has been a tremendous experience. I would like to thank Governor Bredesen for this incredible opportunity, my staff for all of their hard work, and all of the great Democrats across this state that have supported me during my tenure. Although I am sad to see this period of service end, it does not conclude my desire to continue to work on behalf of the Democratic Party. With the continued leadership of Governor Phil Bredesen, the state Democratic Party has a secure and promising future. Jackson Day 2005 was the most successful event in the history of the state party. I believe that the turnout of support was a testament to the kind of unification that the Democratic Party is enjoying in this state.”
A new Chairman will be elected at the state’s Executive Committee meeting scheduled for June 18th of this year.
I had no idea that real estate was such an exciting profession. This smells fishy to me, and I will be making phone calls this evening to gather more information. Given that the TDP just completed what I had heard was a successful Jackson Day, this is bizarre.
