Support from Both Republicans and Democrats for Walker Evident in Campaign Contribution Report
Knoxville, TN: The first reports for candidates running for the 7th district senate seat were turned in last week. A summary of these reports is available on the Tennessee Secretary of State’s website, http://www.tennesseeanytime.org/tncamp-app/public/cpsearch.htm.
According to the most recently filed campaign contribution reports Randy Walker raised $25,330, Stacey Campfield raised $6,450, Ron Leadbetter raised $5,984, and no reports were turned in for Chuck Williams or Steve Hill.
Fresh off a successful fundraiser at Season’s Café in Farragut, Randy Walker’s campaign for the 7th District State Senate seat is building momentum. With support from Republicans and Democrats, Walker’s message of growing East Tennessee’s economy and focus on job creation is resonating with voters and is evident in Walker’s significant lead in campaign contributions among all potential candidates. According to recently published reports, Walker has raised more than twice the campaign contributions of all his potential opponents combined.
Of the recent campaign contribution report, Walker said, “These are serious times and the people of East Tennessee know we need a serious State Senator who can lead our community into the next decade.” “I have been working for the past ten years to bring good paying jobs to our region and grow our local businesses, and the good people of East Tennessee are beginning to respond to our message.” “East Tennessee voters aren’t concerned with party affiliation, they want a Senator that can work to drive economic development in our region and provide serious leadership in the State Senate to help grow our local economy.”
On January 28, 2010, Randy Walker will be hosting a “meet and greet” with the Farragut West Knox Chamber of Commerce http://www.farragutchamber.com/index.php at Water’s Edge Conference and Convention Center, 608 Mabry Hood Road http://watersedge.rodefermoss.com/.
