The Tennessee Education Association Fund for Children and Public Education (TEA-FCPE), the political action arm of the Tennessee Education Association, has announced its endorsement of Jim Tracy for the Tennessee Senate in District 16.  Senate District 16 includes all or portions of Bedford, Moore, and Rutherford Counties.  In making the announcement, TEA’s Manager of Government Relations, Jerry Winters, stated that Sen. Tracy won the organization’s endorsement based on his past support of education issues.  Mr. Winters stated that “Sen. Tracy clearly understands the problems facing public schools and has a proven record on issues facing education and public school employees.  He recognizes that Tennessee’s future depends on strong public schools, and merits the support of the education community, parents, and all others interested in the future of public education. Public schools have a friend in Jim Tracy.  We look forward to working with him again in the 2009 legislative session.”

The Tennessee Education Association is the state’s largest professional organization representing over 55,000 elementary and secondary teachers, school administrators, education support personnel, higher education faculty, and students preparing to become teachers.
