According to the TN state constitution is there a special election or does the governor pick someone to finish the term?

He’s not resigning from office, he’s simply not standing for re-election in 2020.

He’s not stepping down. He’s announcing that he won’t run for re-election in 2020.

Lamar is finishing out his term. It is the ordinary way.

Lamar is really not all that bad. I have his orininal governor campaign poster on my wall. I’m not really pro Lamar any more so much as too lazy to tear it down

Back in the day when he was elected governor, he showed up two or three weeks early and kicked governor Ray blanton out of the Governor’s office and took the oath early.

In so doing, he prevented Blanton getting to make the pardons he had already been paid to issue. There may have been other last minute actions that did not take place but the pardons were what got the news.

Neither. Alexander will finish his term but won't be running for reelection.

He’s just saying he won’t run for re-election.
