CLEVELAND, Tenn. – Independent congressional candidates Savas Kyriakidis and Mark DeVol mostly disagree with Democrat John Wolfe about the role of the federal government.
“Our Constitution is under attack,” Kyriakidis, owner of The Acropolis restaurant in Chattanooga, said Tuesday during a forum organized by the Tea Party of Bradley County.
“That Constitution is the document our founding fathers, the patriots, thought would best preserve liberty,” he said. “Maybe it’s time to stop sending party politicians to Washington and start sending warriors, people who know what it means to defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic.”
Kyriakidis, DeVol and Wolfe are running for the 3rd District congressional seat held until January by U.S. Rep. Zach Wamp, R-Tenn. Wamp gave up the seat to run an unsuccessful campaign for state governor.
DeVol, a small business owner in Anderson County, said “the best way to fix our country is 50 strong governors.”
