Jim Cooper (TN-05) made the following statement on the passing of attorney George “Citizen” Barrett: “Citizen Barrett was more than a legal giant in our community; he was a compassionate soul. George cared deeply for the poor and downtrodden, and championed their rights in court, in the media, and in his every conversation. He had the Irish zest for life, for the latest news, for persuasive argument, and for justice. No one can replace George Barrett in our community, but we should all try, because he made Nashville and Tennessee a better place to live.” | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
