Best Legislative Witness in Nashville 2026: The Rev. Ingrid McIntyre
Very few people go watch the Tennessee General Assembly’s proceedings every day when it’s in session. Some people have only a cause or two that they take interest in, and others simply wouldn’t subject themselves to it. The Rev. Ingrid McIntyre is unique in her doggedness and versatility. She shows up every day and gets educated on the cause at hand — immigration, healthcare, LGBTQ rights. What’s more, she also leads a church. To paraphrase a Christian sentiment, there is beauty in bearing witness, and McIntyre demonstrates that.
