State Senator Janice Bowling (R-Tullahoma) was recently appointed chairman of the Coffee County ‘Yes on 2’ campaign, the official effort supporting Constitutional Amendment 2, which would permanently prohibit a state property tax in Tennessee. Gov. Bill Lee will serve as statewide chairman of the campaign. Regional chairmen include Speaker of the House Cameron Sexton (R-Crossville) for East Tennessee, Senator Ferrell Haile (R-Gallatin) for Middle Tennessee and Representative Tandy Darby (R-Greenfield) for West Tennessee.

“Tennesseans have consistently demonstrated that responsible fiscal stewardship leads to economic growth and greater opportunity for our citizens,” said Bowling. “Constitutional Amendment 2 builds on that success by ensuring a state property tax remains off the table for future generations. This measure provides long-term certainty for homeowners, farmers, and business owners while reinforcing Tennessee’s commitment to limited government and low taxes. I am proud to help lead this effort in Coffee County and encourage voters to learn more about the benefits of voting ‘Yes on 2.’” “We are honored that all of these individuals from one corner of the state to another have joined together to pass Amendment 2,” said Kevin Hensley with Tennessee Farm Bureau, which is leading the coalition. “Thanks to their leadership, we will spread the message far and wide that Tennesseans can forever ban a state property tax by voting ‘Yes on 2’ this November.”

Constitutional Amendment 2 will appear on the November ballot and asks voters whether Tennessee’s Constitution should be amended to prohibit the state government from levying, authorizing, or otherwise permitting a state property tax.

Senator Bowling will also support the campaign’s outreach and voter education efforts throughout the other counties she represents.
