JASPER – The Maury County Tea Party announced their endorsement of Republican physician Scott DesJarlais in his run for Congress today.
The influential group represents the largest county in Tennessee’s Fourth Congressional District and is dedicated to bringing responsibility back to government. The group advocates for fiscal responsibility, limited government and free markets by supporting candidates and initiatives to further those principles.
“I am proud to announce the Maury County Tea Party’s endorsement of Dr. Scott DesJarlais. We have reviewed the candidates in this race and his campaign will truly represent the people of the Fourth District. He has a platform dedicated to less government, lower taxes and more freedom,” said Bowen Pratt, Maury County Tea Party Chairman. “That message resonates with our members and reflects the true principles of Tennesseans everywhere.”
He continued, “On the other hand, Lincoln Davis’ continued votes for Nancy Pelosi and his consistent support of big-government spending by President Obama and Speaker Pelosi show that he has completely forgotten the values of this District. He presents himself as an independent but, if that were truly the case, he wouldn’t be supporting Nancy Pelosi’s reckless liberal agenda over 94% of the time. That’s wrong and Tennessee deserves better.”
DesJarlais responded, “I am proud to have the endorsement of this organization dedicated to reducing the size and scope of our federal government. Tennesseans throughout the Fourth District are rightly concerned about the unchecked spending in Washington and the unprecedented growth we have seen in countless federal departments and agencies. Democrats like Lincoln Davis have continually voted to support higher spending and higher debt and that must end if we are going to get our country back on track. On November 2nd, with the strong support of groups like the Maury County Tea Party, our campaign will make sure Tennessee leads the way for the rest of our nation in ending the liberal government power grab.”
CNN has rated the TN-04 seat as one of the "Top 50 Most Vulnerable." The New York Times political blog, Five Thirty Eight, recently forecast Tennessee's Fourth Congressional Race as "Leans Republican."
Scott DesJarlais is the conservative Tennessee physician, businessman and family man who is running to bring common sense, conservative solutions to the problems that ail Washington. Scott and his wife, Amy, have three children and live in Marion County, Tennessee.
