Local UTK Political Science Student “Shadows” Senator Finney in Nashville

(NASHVILLE, TN), March 18, 2008 – A local University of Tennessee at Knoxville student got a  chance to “shadow” Senator Raymond Finney as he attended a floor session in the Tennessee State Senate on Monday.  The student, Ted Boyatt of Maryville, is a Political Science major at the University. 

"I am pleased that Ted had the opportunity to see the inner working of our legislative proceedings from the floor of the Senate,” said Sen. Finney.  "I hope Ted will take back a desire to help our community through running for elected office, volunteer service, or just in being an informed voter."

Senator Finney represents the 8th senatorial district which includes Blount and Sevier Counties
