Interest Groups

One current issue in tennessee politics is the influence of interest groups on political decisions. The Tennesee County Services Association is a non profit, non partisan organization that represents the 95 counties throughout the state. TCSA has been around since 1954 and handles a variety of issues within the counties and is made up of three affilitates that focus on specific areas of interest. The purpose of the TCSA is to improve the operation of Tennessee county government and thereby the services counties provide to their residents. This interest group is important to Tennessee politics because it directly represents each county and is the main group when it comes to adivsing individual counties on ways to handle current issues
