NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Republican state Senate Speaker Ron Ramsey’s first gubernatorial campaign advertisement launched Wednesday promises to give the federal government “the boot” if it runs afoul of Tennessee principles.
The 30-second spot running on a mix of broadcast and cable outlets shows the Blountville auctioneer climbing the interior stairs of the state Capitol and decrying the “Washington way” of increased spending, taxes and debt.
“The Tennessee way says tighten your belts, be conservative, live within your means,” Ramsey says in the ad.
