Bredesen shows he is for all Tennesseans
Chattanooga has had the privilege of having a former mayor represent us in the U.S. Senate. Since he was first elected in 2006, Bob Corker has kept Chattanooga in mind in Washington. While Sen. Corker chairs the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, he cares about what happens here at home, such as the redevelopment of Miller Park.
Will Chattanooga have less sway with his successor? Congresswoman Marsha Blackburn refused to debate here. She has blatantly overlooked us and our needs. However, Phil Bredesen held an ideas forum last week, demonstrating that he is genuinely interested in listening to our concerns. He is making Chattanooga a priority. If Marsha is absent during the campaign, will she be absent as our senator?
We shouldn’t base who we elect on a “D”) or an “R”) beside their names. We should base our vote on who cares, who shows up before the 11th hour, and who will carry our concerns to Washington. Phil Bredesen has made it clear that Chattanooga is just as important as the rest of the state, and he wants to get things done for us in the Senate. That’s why I’m choosing Phil Bredesen on Nov. 6.
