MEET STEVIE GIORNO
The FAIRtax movement has benefited from gifted leadership, but the aging of its board members has been a challenge. To address this issue, the previous Board of Directors has been actively recruiting the next generation of leaders. The new leaders have become the new Board of Directors, and the immediate past Board of Directors is now the Executive Board.
This Grassroots Corner continues this series of introductions with Stevie Giorno. Stevie Giorno serves as the chair of Team Tennessee, a grassroots organization that seeks to elect conservative leaders across Tennessee.
He served as the Chairman of the Tennessee Young Republicans from 2023 to 2025. During his term, Tennessee elected more Young Republican Delegates and Alternates to the 2024 Republican National Convention than any other state in the country.
In 2025, the Tennessee Young Republicans hosted the largest Young Republican National Convention, with over 1,000 attendees.
Stevie served as Student Body President at Belmont University from January 2020 to January 2021, where he was attacked by fellow students after posting on social media that he was a “Proud American” on the 4th of July in 2020. Despite public backlash, threats of violence, and needing armed security when on campus, Stevie refused to endorse the Black Lives Matter organization and stood up for his patriotic views.
After graduating from Belmont, Stevie worked for U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn as an aide. Before this, he interned for Ambassador Bill Hagerty’s US Senate campaign in Tennessee and was an associate at Baker Group Strategies.
