State Representative Kent Calfee of Kingston announced yesterday he tested positive for COVID-19.

“I am not experiencing any symptoms, and I have been self-isolating. I wanted to inform you of my positive test, so you could also take additional precautions to keep you and your loved ones safe, if you feel they are necessary. I have also notified legislative administration in Nashville, so they can take any additional precautions in accordance with the CDC to maintain a safe working environment for all within the Cordell Hull Building,” said Calfee

“At this time, I ask for your continued prayers as my wife Marilyn undergoes COVID-19 treatment. My first responsibility is to her and to continue to serve as a faithful husband during these challenging times in both of our lives. My office and staff remain available to serve the citizens of our communities. Thank you for your continued support, your feedback, your partnership, and most importantly, your prayers. It is an honor to serve you.”

Calfee represents parts of Roane and Loudon County.
