District 26 state Rep. Greg Martin, R-Hixson, says he’d like to “make America like Tennessee.”
By that, he means, the country, like the state, would be even more a “magnet of freedom and opportunity,” that it would be well managed, that it would have low taxes (Tennessee’s are among the lowest), that it would have low debt (Tennessee’s is the lowest), and that it would be growing (Tennessee saw growth in 90 of 95 counties in 2023).
“I want to preserve our state,” says Martin, who is running for a second full term in the legislature in next month’s election. “I want to promote those values. I want us to continue on that trajectory.”
Since we believe that trajectory allows people to keep more of their money and invest in areas to improve their lives, we endorse his re-election.
Martin is opposed for the second straight general election by writer Allison Gorman, who believes her opponent is “not representative of Tennessee” and that his political philosophy “doesn’t align with what most people want.”
