Re: Rep.Justin Pearson 2nd ousted Rep
TN county officials voted Rep.Justin Pearson back in
Here's what he said:
Republicans who instigated my removal from the Tennessee House last week, along with and that of my legislative colleague Rep. Justin Jones, apparently failed to anticipate the nationwide backlash that their actions would engender.
Democracy prevailed and the rule of law has won.
This week, I will retake my seat.
After a vote held Wednesday afternoon by the Shelby County Commission, I will once again represent the beautifully diverse jurisdiction of District 86 in Memphis in Tennessee’s Assembly — as I did until Thursday of last week, when Republicans voted to remove me and Rep. Jones.
