Tennessee House Speaker Cameron Sexton, R-Crossville, has appointed State Rep. David B. Hawk, R-Greeneville, as chairman of the Transportation Subcommittee for the 114th General Assembly.
“Rep. David Hawk has been a steadfast advocate for improving Tennessee’s infrastructure and transportation systems,” Speaker Sexton said. “As chairman of the Transportation Subcommittee, David’s leadership will be crucial in advancing projects and policies that promote economic growth, ease congestion, and improve access across the state. He will also play a key role in rebuilding roadways in northeast Tennessee.”
The 10-member subcommittee is responsible for overseeing state laws related to infrastructure, including highways, bridges, railroads, and various forms of transportation—air, bus, and vehicle. The subcommittee also handles regulations concerning the use of highways, railroads, airways, and waterways, as well as the Tennessee Department of Safety.
“I am honored to be appointed chairman of the Transportation Subcommittee and excited to continue advocating for improvements to Tennessee’s infrastructure,” Hawk said. “Our transportation systems are vital to the state’s economic success. I look forward to working with my colleagues to advance projects that reduce congestion, improve access, and enhance the safety of our roadways, especially in northeast Tennessee. Together, we can ensure our infrastructure supports growth and meets the needs of all Tennesseans.”
Hawk, first elected in 2003, is serving his eleventh term representing House District 5. In addition to chairing the Transportation Subcommittee, he will serve on the Finance, Ways, and Means Committee, Private Acts Committee and Transportation Committee during this legislative session.
