Endorsements

TeamGOP has endorsed Jack Johnson in the Tennessee state senate 23rd district race, and Bob Krumm in the 21st.

Regarding Johnson, who I also have endorsed, TeamGOP said this:

Jack’s experience as a senior vice president for Pinnacle Financial Partners gives him the necessary experience to understand complex financial issues that are surely to face our next legislative session. Jack is committed as a strong proponent of no state income tax and cutting state spending to rid the state government of bloated and unnecessary waste. Jack and his family are staunchly conservative in their beliefs of pro-life and traditional marriage. The fact that he received the endorsement of Tennessee Right to Life stands as a testament to his family values and the role a state senator should take in leading these principles when governing. Jack understands the necessity of state leaders to advocate on the state’s behalf in illegal immigration policies and the impact these have in our daily lives.

Bob Krumm's simple statement of "A leader will not lie, cheat, or steal, nor tolerate those who do" is sometimes repeated, but in recent times has been ignored by many in the Tennessee General Assembly. Tennessee needs new leaders like Bob Krumm and not the same politicians with the same old rhetoric who helped bring shame to Tennessee state government. Bob, a fiscal conservative, will well represent taxpayers and small business owners in his district and across Tennessee. Bob believes that government should only do what the private sector cannot do and everything that government does, it should do well.
