The upper house of Tennessee's General Assembly is called the Senate. The state is divided into 33 senatorial districts, from each of which one senator is elected. Senators are elected to four-year terms with those from even-numbered districts being elected in the same general election, and those representing odd-numbered districts being elected two years later. Thus, about half of the 33 senators are standing for election at the same time. Re-election to the Senate is constitutionally permissible, as it is in the House, and there is no limit on the number of terms a legislator may serve.
One current member of the Tennesee General Assembly is Mark Norris. Norris is the Republican leader of the Tennessee senate. Norris was born July 9, 1955 in Akron, Ohio, he received his B.A., of Political Science at Colorado College in 1977, and finally recieved his J.D., at the University of Denver in 1980. Today Norris is an attorney and farmer, as well as a member of the state senate. Also he his married with two sons.
