Lordy Mercy has a conservative candidate ever melted down like Scott DesJarlais (i-R) in TN Fourth? He skipped a debate and local papers are covering his personal abortion scandal with headlines that include Colbert coverage! For East Tennessee that's political death. His opponent, Eric Stewart, by Tennessee standards, is liberal enough and an experienced State Senator and has other local offices. He is in the right place at the right time and deserves our support. Here is his ACT BLUE page. DesJarlais has a huge money advantage so Eric could use our help. I put some info from his site below the swiggle. Here's an unexpected opportunity kids. Let gitterdone!
Eric gave up his seat on the county commission in 2006 when his father decided to run for county mayor. "Nothing prevented us from serving together but we both thought it best not to, so I didn't run and worked hard to help him in his campaign."
In 2008, another opportunity arose when State Senator Jerry Cooper retired from his position. Eric decided to run for the seat and, after a hard fought primary and general election, took his oath of office in January of 2009. In the senate, Eric again fought for those who didn't have a voice in government. "As elected officials we are sent to do a job, to stand up and fight for the people we represent, for our communities, and to work together to all of Tennessee a better place to live."
In November of 2011, Eric decided to not seek reelection to the state senate but to run for the 4th congressional district citing a desire to take courage, common sense and cooperation back to Washington.
