Deputy Governor Ramsey to retire; Lt. Gov. Ramsey to not do that
Claude Ramsey is leaving his post at the end of August.
When he joined the administration in January 2011, Ramsey agreed to serve as deputy to the governor for two years but has stayed on past his original commitment. Before joining the Haslam administration, Ramsey was in his fifth term as Hamilton County mayor, having played key roles in educational and economic successes in Southeast Tennessee.
