On Saturday, Arch Trimble IV was presented the 2026 Statesman of the Year for the Third District of Tennessee award by Congressman Chuck Fleischmann in Nashville.

At the 2026 Statesmans dinner hosted by the Tennessee Republican Party, Arch Trimble IV was chosen as the Third District’s Statesman of the Year. Previous Third District recipients have included State Representative Greg Vital, Hamilton County Trustee Bill Hullander, Senator Bob Corker, and long-time business leaders Ronnie Barnes and Jack McKee.

“To receive this award from Congressman Fleischmann, a man I believe to be the best Congressman we have ever had, is icing on the cake,” stated Arch Trimble IV. “It is the absolute honor of a lifetime to receive the Statesman of the Year Award. My wife, Kathryn, and I are grateful to Chuck and Brenda Fleischmann for their support over many years. This is merely the beginning of our journey to make Tennessee a better place for all.”

In a video made by Congressman Fleischmann for the evening’s dinner, he stated, “this is a fine young man. He has a wonderful wife, two wonderful sons, and he has helped Republicans at the local, state, and federal level. Every time Arch is asked to help, he helps, and he stands up and gets it done for our great Republican Party. He has a great future with our party, and he is going to continue to do great things.”
