A legislator, attorney, businessman, and former minister, Roy Herron is a hard-working family man fighting for working Tennesseans.

Sen. Roy Herron has held more than 1,000 listening meetings, perhaps more than any Tennessee legislator. In over 22 years, he has missed only one legislative session - the day his youngest son was being born.

Roy believes education is the key to creating new jobs and preparing Tennesseans to compete in the global economy.

A father of three who attended public schools, Roy is passionately committed to improving our schools and providing new opportunities for Tennesseans.

Roy is continuing his long record of helping Tennesseans get the care they need while fighting fraud and abuse.

The sponsor of the Crime Victims Bill of Rights, Roy will continue fighting crime, protecting victims, and keeping our communities safe.
