22 PROMINENT TENNESSEANS ENDORSE PADGETT FOR SENATE

Group of lawmakers and civic leaders represent all parts of Tennessee

NASHVILLE – A group of prominent Tennesseans from across the state endorsed U.S. Senate candidate Mike Padgett Wednesday.

The group includes:
Rodney Archer, County Trustee, Anderson County.
Joe Armstrong, State Representative, 15th District, Knox County.
Eddie Bass, State Representative, 65th District, Giles County.
James “Mo” Brotherton, County Commissioner, Sullivan County.
Randy Button, Former Chairman, Tennessee Democratic Party, Roane County.
Sidney Chism, County Commissioner, Shelby County.
Dennis Ferguson, State Representative, 32nd District, Roane County.
Doug Horne, Former Chairman, Tennessee Democratic Party, Knox County.
Michael Hudson, County Mayor, Sequatchie County.
Clark Jones, Former Tennessee Democratic Party Treasurer; Hardin County.
Jeremy Kane, Founder and school director of LEAD Academy, Davidson County.
Hansel McCadams, District Attorney, 24th District, Henry County.
Randy Nichols, District Attorney, 6th District, Knox County.
Anna Belle Clement O’Brien, Former State Senator, Putnam County.
Hugh Ogletree, County Clerk, Overton County.
Kathy Prater, County Clerk, Bedford County.
Randy Rinks, House Democratic Caucus Chair, Hardin County.
Joe Shepard, County Mayor, Gibson County.
Billy Simpson, Mayor of Jasper, Marion County.
Brent D. Staton, M.D., Community Leader, Hamilton County.
Randell Totty, County Clerk, Hickman County.
Mike Wellons, Bolivar City Councilman, Hardeman County.

"I am honored that all of these great friends have chosen to stand with me," Padgett said. "The character and values represented by this group should serve as a signal:

"Tennesseans from across the spectrum are fed up with the status quo and are committed to cleaning up the mess made by President Bush, Senator Alexander and Senator McCain. No more coddling the wealthiest Americans at the expense of the working men and women of this land.

"This fine group is willing to work with me because they know I have not forgotten Tennessee’s middle class. If you will join them in standing with me, I will give it all I’ve got in the 111th Congress to open the way once again to the American dream."

Chism is interesting

Commissioner Chism is on the State Executive Committee from District 33, although I don't remember if he was there when Tuke was chair of the TDP. He throws a big picnic every year, and candidates of BOTH parties show up, as it's THE summer political event in Big Shelby.

He is the first Democratic elected official here to go with Padgett instead of Tuke. What effect this might have is uncertain, but Tuke may not have the runaway here that we all thought.

Is it better to be endorsed or to endorse?????

Is it better to be endorsed by 22 individual politicians who support and profit by an increase in the size, cost, reach and power of the government.
Or is it better to endorse an idea whose time has come. That is stopping the growth of government and rolling it back in the reverse fashion it was expanded.

I will vote NO on any increase in the size, cost, reach or power of the government.
