Summary
During the joint convention, members nominated Venecia Kimbrough to the State Election Commission and, after a motion to close nominations, elected her by acclamation to a four-year term. The nomination was moved and seconded and approved without objection.
Members of a joint convention of the Tennessee General Assembly elected Venecia Kimbrough to the Tennessee State Election Commission by acclamation on April 9, 2026.
Nominations opened and Representative Camper nominated Venecia Kimbrough; Senator Ackberry seconded the nomination. Representative Clemens moved that nominations cease and that Kimbrough be elected by acclamation; Senator Lamar seconded that motion. With no objection, the presiding officer declared, "Miss Venecia Kimbrough is duly, legally, and constitutionally elected to the Tennessee State Election Commission for the ensuing four years." (Transcript spelling of Kimbrough’s given name varies in places; the nomination form read and the nomination speech identified the nominee as Venecia Kimbrough.)
The assembly took the action by acclamation rather than by recorded roll call. The joint convention then concluded the business for which it was called.
