NASHVILLE, Tenn.--Tennessee Republican Party Chairman Chris Devaney released the following statement regarding a lawsuit that was filed against the Party:
“The
Tennessee Republican Party has reached an agreement with Mark Winslow
to resolve the issues raised in his lawsuit against the Party. Upon my
election as Chairman in 2009 I decided to hire a staff of my own
choosing. Because Mark had an employment agreement through the end of
the year we negotiated a severance agreement that included a
confidentiality clause. Documents from his confidential personnel file
later became public and were used in political advertising. Mark
contends that these documents were misused and neither I nor the Party
would have or did authorize their release. Mark has been a loyal
Republican and a valued member of the State Executive Committee. I am
pleased we have reached an amicable resolution of this unfortunate
matter and look forward to Mark’s continuing good work for the Party and
our principles. I encourage all of my fellow Republicans to join me in
putting this episode behind us.”
