Over the Mountain

When we think of the qualities needed to be considered a true statesman, no politician fits the bill so much as Senator Niceley. A true visionary, Senator Niceley’s wisdom and experience allowed him to identify the dangers TN faced while in office and we see this podcast as a way to share his wisdom and real life experience with others who wish to use the power of the state legislatures to protect against outside threats.

Get to Know Frank

Senator Frank Niceley’s life and family history is deeply embedded in East Tennessee. Frank is the direct descendent of five veterans of the Revolutionary War buried in the 8th District. Frank’s love of Tennessee history earned him a reputation as the unofficial Senate historian while in office. First elected to the State Senate in 2012, Senator Niceley ran promising to protect family farms, fiscal responsibility, low taxes, and fighting federal government overreach. He kept these promises during his time in office passing practical, yet at times out of the box bills that

Frank has been married to his wife Cyndie for over fifty years and has four children. He has been a farmer for five decades in Strawberry Plains, TN and is excited to share his lifetime of wisdom and expertise to a wider audience via Over the Mountain.

His accomplishments have repeatedly earned him ‘Solari Hero of the Week’. In 2023, he was also our ‘Hero of the Year’.

Hero of the Year

In the 2024 session the Senator introduced a wide swath of bills with the intent to protect Tennesseans. These included a constitutional resolution to protect the individual’s right to grow and acquire the food of their choice (SJR 902); a bill that would have barred any prohibition on the growing of produce and the raising of chicken or meat rabbits on a residential lot (SB 1761); a bill that would have exempted farms from any vaccine mandate for their livestock or poultry, if the farms’ practice was not to vaccinate their livestock or poultry (SB 2543); and legislation that would have prohibited cell-cultured meat from being defined as “meat” (SB 2603).

The Senator is also a leader in the legislature in regards to protecting Tennesseans’ financial sovereignty. Introducing legislation that would have authorized the Tennessee treasurer to take a portion of the Tennessee rainy day fund and put it into precious metals and would have also made gold and silver legal tender in TN (SB2737). The Senator previously passed a bill that took the tax off gold and silver in TN.

In 2023 the Senator sponsored bills that passed into law which prohibited the selling of TN land to foreign entities (SB 0122) and authorized the Governor to send forces to Texas to help protect the southern border (SB 2538).

In 2022 the Senator passed the groundbreaking piece of legislation, SB 2188, that made Tennessee the only state in the nation where ivermectin can be sold over the counter. Equally groundbreaking was his SB 1147 which protects Tennesseans property rights against UN’s “Agenda 21” adopted by the United Nations in 1992 at its Conference on Environment and Development, the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the U.N.’s proposal to reach net zero emissions by 2050.

The Senator is also a staunch defender of our 2nd amendment rights, sponsoring numerous bills over his time in the legislature in regards to this crucial part of US citizens maintaining their freedom. In 2017 his SB 0700 created a lifetime handgun carry permit for Tennesseans. The following year SB1910 passed into law prohibiting a municipality from charging a person with a violation of an ordinance prohibiting the discharge of a firearm if the person acted in justifiable self-defense passed into law as well. In 2022 his SB 2628 decriminalized shotguns and SBRs, including pistol-braces under TN-law.

He also sponsored SB 0908 which would have protected the victim of a crime from being charged with a felony for holding an attacker at gunpoint until law enforcement arrives & SB 0207 which would have removed background check requirement for handgun carry permit holder, if permit was issued or renewed within five years of the date of the transaction (already the law in Georgia).

“You’ve got to get after your politicians and make them pay attention. If you get enough people calling all their legislators, then they’ll listen. I’ve seen one or two phone calls change a politician. Don’t underestimate the power of a phone call.”
