Rep. Scott Cepicky Announces Creation of Bipartisan Tennessee-Israel Legislative Caucus

On March 10th, State Rep. Scott Cepicky, R-Culleoka, announced the creation of the Tennessee-Israel Caucus in the Tennessee General Assembly.

The Tennessee-Israel Caucus will work to strengthen political ties between the state of Tennessee and the state of Israel through bilateral trade, educational collaboration and enhanced cultural understanding.

“Israel has been a great friend and ally to the United States and it’s important that we continue furthering our relationship,” Cepicky said. “The Tennessee-Israel Caucus will foster an environment of collaboration and allow for an incredible exchange of ideas to make life better for Tennesseans and Israelis. I look forward to this partnership strengthening our political ties while promoting progress and prosperity.”

The bipartisan caucus will help further collaboration between Tennessee and Israel by building on shared values, mutual respect and a commitment to innovation and progress.

Cepicky is co-chair of the 60-member caucus, which is open to all members of the General Assembly. Legislators on Monday were joined by Consul General of Israel to the Southeastern United States Anat Sultan-Dadon to formally establish the caucus.

State Rep. Scott Cepicky represents House District 64, which includes part of Maury County.

Will Nashville Score the 2029 Super Bowl? Governor Lee Makes His Play

Governor Bill Lee has officially expressed interest in bringing the 2029 Super Bowl to Nashville.

Lee’s office confirmed Thursday that he sent a letter to NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell shortly after touring the construction site of the new $2.2 billion domed Nissan Stadium on the city’s East Bank.

Earlier this month, Nashville officials submitted their own letter to the NFL. With this latest move, the State of Tennessee is now formally backing the city’s bid to host football’s biggest event.

During his tour, Lee highlighted the stadium’s significance as a major asset for Tennessee, emphasizing the state’s efforts to attract high-profile investments and events.

Titans’ executive Adolpho Birch III discussed Lee’s letter at a Sports Authority meeting Thursday, reinforcing the team’s dedication to promoting Nashville, the stadium, and the state on a national stage.

The stadium is set to open in February 2027, and the NFL is expected to announce the host city for the 2029 Super Bowl later this year.
