MEMPHIS, Tenn.– A U.S. presidential appointment for a former Memphis City Councilwoman has been put on hold.

Nearly a year after President Biden nominated Patrice Robinson to become a member of the Tennessee Valley Authority or the TVA, there have been no confirmation hearings, and none are scheduled.

“On September 11, 2023, President Biden nominated me to serve on the TVA board. We had hoped that we’d have a vote by the Senate by the end of the year, but that didn’t happen,” said Robinson.
