“I want to honor Justice Kyle Hixson for his appointment to the Tennessee Supreme Court. He has served the public for almost twenty years and will protect our state's constitutional values.”
“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the appointment of Justice Kyle Hixson to the Tennessee Supreme Court. As a seventh- generation Tennessean, Justice Hixson is the true embodiment of what it means to be a true Volunteer. Justice Hixson has spent nearly two decades as a public servant and will continue to serve the good folks of east Tennessee in the highest court of our great State. In appointing Justice Hixson, Governor Bill Lee selected a judge whose career is dedicated to upholding and fighting for the constitutional values necessary to maintain liberty and justice in Tennessee. Justice Hixson has been a lifelong pillar of our great community. From working in his family’s grocery store as a kid to raising his three very lovely daughters, he understands the strength of Tennessee lies in its families, its communities, and the people who call it home. Throughout his great career, he has remained committed to serving both his profession and his fellow Tennesseans with humility and integrity. Justice Kyle Hixson embodies the volunteer spirit through hard work, faith, and principles. His appointment is a testament to Tennessee, and I am honored to recognize him today and call him a friend.”
