A friend received a letter from from Tommy Roland, ex-brother-in-law of state senate candidate Randy Camp. The letter has been placed online by the Nashville Post. It is, to say the least, inflammatory. In part:
Randy Camp’s conduct while married to my sister was horrible. He was having several affairs right under our noses. His actions have resulted in at least two broken marriages and damage to others, Families in both Crockett and Gibson Counties have been hurt by all of this. Lisa also received anonymous letters from Nashville telling her of extramarital affairs as well.
Yet the facts seem to bear out Roland's claims. What is more, perusing the terms of the divorce agreement between the politically-connected attorney Randy Camp and his wife of over 20 years, a mere housewife, is unbelievably skewed in Randy Camp's favor.
I hope the voters realize that a man that has a long history of screwing everything in sight cannot be trusted to hold office.
AlphaPatriot endorses Rep. Dolores Gresham for Tennessee Senate District 26.
The Commercial Appeal investigated the burning question of why four local mayors (Bartlett, Arlington, Collierville and Germantown) backed Tom Leatherwood in his quest to unseat the very popular and firmly entrenched Marsha Blackburn for Tennessee's seventh Congressional District.
The CA has determined that these local leaders chose Leatherwood because they have an "uneasy relationship" with Blackburn. This probably due to the fact that the 7th Congressional District is the most gerrymandered in Tennessee, twisting it's way across parts of 15 counties from Mississippi to Kentucky. So it is tough for Blackburn to maintain a close relationship with voters and elected officials across her entire district.
But the real story is that Blackburn, the popular incumbent, raised record amounts of campaign cash and outspent Leatherwood nearly 10 to 1 just to win by a 3 to 1 margin.
The result is that Leatherwood has positioned himself nicely to take Blackburn's spot when she steps down to run for governor. And he's warned her that she had better clean up her act before she does so.
Wins all around . . . eventually.
