This resolution honors Pat Nolan, a longtime Nashville journalist and political analyst at NewsChannel 5 (WTVF), recognizing his exceptional 50-year career in broadcasting. A lifelong Nashville native and Vanderbilt University graduate, Nolan began his journalism career at WPLN News in 1973 and was recruited to NewsChannel 5 as a reporter in 1975, where he later became a political analyst known for his thorough research and comprehensive political interviews. Beyond his television work, Nolan also worked in public relations, rising to senior vice president at DVL Seigenthaler before retiring in 2019, and served as an anchor for Metropolitan Nashville Council meeting coverage. The resolution highlights Nolan's professionalism, community involvement, and dedication to journalism, praising his long-running "Inside Politics" show and his interviews with various political figures. By formally acknowledging his contributions, the Tennessee Senate and House of Representatives extend their heartfelt wishes for a happy retirement and commit to preparing an official copy of the resolution to commemorate his distinguished career.
