NASHVILLE – Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mike McWherter is launching is first television ad on Monday emphasizing his jobs plan and promising to reject an income tax in Tennessee.
The ad starts with McWherter working on an all terrain vehicle. In an apparent allusion to the increasingly acrimonious GOP nomination fight, the narrator says: “Imagine a governor more interested in fixing things than playing politics.”
McWherter, the son of former Gov. Ned McWherter, is the lone Democrat running to succeed term-limited Gov. Phil Bredesen.
