Johnson says his goal is to keep Tennessee fiscally conservative

(The Center Square) – Tennessee state Sen. Jack Johnson, R-Franklin, said his goal as incoming lieutenant governor is to keep the state fiscally conservative. The General Assembly approved a $58 billion budget last year for fiscal year 2027. Johnson, who served as Senate Majority Leader for the 2025-2026 session, said in his April budget presentation that the spending plan includes $30 billion in state general funds and dedicated state appropriations and $19 billion of federal funding. The remaining $9 billion in the budget is from fees, tuition and bonds. Johnson was nominated as lieutenant governor by the Senate Republican Caucus on Tuesday, pending approval by the full Senate. Republicans hold a supermajority with 27 seats to Democrats' six. Johnson said he knows that Republican Gov.-elect Marsha Blackburn will join him in remaining fiscally conservative. But lawmakers will face the same issues they have faced in the past few years. A report from the Tennessee Advisory Commission on Intergovernmental Relations shows the state's transportation needs continue to grow. The report examined planning documents from the Tennessee Department of Transportation, the department's presentation to the General Assembly, and its federally required asset management plan.
