McCormick puts his district first
I thank our own Rep. Gerald McCormick, majority leader of the Tennessee House of Representatives, for fighting for us and the thousands of jobs and millions of dollars that Amazon.com is putting here. He’s just the kind of person we’re supposed to elect to public office.
He had to take on some of the strongest colleagues from his own party in the House and Senate, but he wasn’t intimidated by them or the Walmarts of the world. He fought them tooth and nail to the bitter end, television commercials as well.
South Carolina ran Amazon off, but not Tennessee. We kept our word.
So now we have the thousands of jobs in Chattanooga and Cleveland. Folks, we have a majority leader who has statewide duties, but puts our community and his legislative district first. Pat him on the back and thank him.
