The template currently shows the party affiliation of Tennessee speaker Kent Williams as "CCR", for "Carter County Republican." Since his expulsion from the state Republican Party, this seems to be the best characterization of his party affiliation (although some political publications in the state are listing his affiliation as "?"), but "CCR" is not meaningful to readers.

To resolve this, I propose adding a second footnote to the template to define "CCR", using footnote symbols (such as a single dagger ‡ and a pair of daggers ‡‡) to identify the notes. Any objections to this? --Orlady (talk) 23:56, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've edited the table to add a second note. --Orlady (talk) 16:14, 15 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
