Verona,
PA - After an extended visit with Tennessee legislators while in
Nashville this week, Senator Rick Santorum picked up endorsements of
some of the state's most ardent conservatives. From Jonesborough to
Dresden, a dozen State Representatives were eager to endorse the
candidate they feel carries the values of Tennesseans and has the best
chance to beat President Obama in the fall - Rick Santorum.
Included in the list of supporters are:
Representative Sheila Butt (R-
Columbia)
Representative Jimmy Matlock (R - Lenoir City)
Representative Bill Dunn (R- Knoxville)
Representative Don Miller (R- Morristown)
Representative Joshua Evans (R -
Greenbrier)
Representative Mark Pody (R-
Lebanon)
Representative Joey Hensley, MD (R-
Hohenwald)
Representative Dennis Powers (R- Jacksboro)
Representative Matthew Hill (R - Jonesborough)
Representative Art Swann (R- Maryville)
Representative Andy Holt (R - Dresden)
Representative Rick Womick (R - Rockvale)
Representatives
Dunn and Powers agreed to act as co-chairs of the campaign in
Tennessee. Both men acknowledged that some additional colleagues are
supporting Santorum in other ways. Dunn said that the Santorum campaign
is surging at just the right time. "I've been for Rick Santorum from
the beginning, and I am proud to stand with my fellow representatives
in support of a man with such integrity and courage," Dunn said.
Powers
said that he was also impressed with Santorum's Made in America Plan
and his promise to repeal Obamacare. "Senator Santorum is a true
conservative who believes that America's hope lies in her people, not
in the
government."
