District 30 voters can trust Helton
You can trust Esther Helton.
Every election cycle, sadly, features negative campaigning. The rule of thumb proves true that if an inferior candidate, just like an inferior product, can’t stand on its own, the competition begins tearing down its opponent. It’s unfortunate. We just have to find the best one.
Esther Helton is the real deal and the person who will get my vote for state representative to serve the eastern part of our county. I have watched Esther work as a leader to prevent a property tax increase in East Ridge. I have seen her work to tear down government barriers to get prized names like Chick-fil-A, Bass Pro Shops and Hampton Inn to generate more than 300 new jobs in our community. Believe it or not, her opponent calls this controversial. It’s only controversial if you want your property taxes to go up and these top brands to find another place to develop.
I strongly support and encourage others to simply reject the negative desperation of Esther’s opponent in the last stretch of this important election. Esther Helton is qualified, ready to serve and can be trusted with your vote.

No Nobel Prize for Trump just yet
Wherever we draw the line, it has been crossed. The leader of the free world recently yielded to Putin, refusing to hold him accountable for the crime of meddling in our elections. Trump has just made our nation look pathetic on the world stage. Obama would have been crucified.
Trump has strongly condemned our allies, graciously praised dictators and spewed divisiveness in our nation. In order to divide us, he pollutes our environment, maxes out the credit card and halts the recovery with tariffs. He has generated a division so strong it is tearing at the fabric of our foundation as a nation.
Now, North Korea has about-faced. The test site was in such bad shape that destruction was inevitable. American soldiers’ remains have not been returned as promised. No timeline yet. Suddenly, North Korea has “deep worries” over the talks. No Nobel Peace prize yet.
Our nation owes John McCain honor for the sacrifices he made for our country. Most of us are praying for John. It will take mavericks like him to break the hypnosis Trump has on the Republican Party and expose the truth about what is happening to us under Trump.

Elect Blackburn to support Trump
Chuck Schumer is desperately trying to take over the Senate so he can oppose President Trump’s agenda at every turn. In November 2016, we voted for President Trump because we believe he is putting America back on the right track. We said no to Hillary Clinton, because we want to end sanctuary cities, cut taxes and help small businesses grow jobs. We want to confirm strict constitutionalist Supreme Court justices who won’t legislate from the bench and push their progressive agenda. The well-being of Americans should be our government’s first priority, not the well-being of their liberal elite donors.
Chuck Schumer hand-picked Hillary ally Phil Bredesen to run to help Democrats take control of the Senate and oppose President Trump. Money from the Democrat establishment in Washington is already flowing in to run TV ads for Bredesen. Marsha Blackburn needs the help of Tennesseans across the state to kick these liberal elites out of Tennessee. Early voting has begun, and we need to get out there and vote by July 28 (end of early voting) for Marsha Blackburn so those liberal elites know we support President Trump and reject their progressive agenda.
