VANCE DENNIS ANNOUNCES CAMPAIGN FOR

STATE REPRESENTATIVE

Vows to Keep State Taxes and Spending in Check

(SAVANNAH)- Vance Dennis, a Savannah attorney, announced today his candidacy for State Representative for the 71^st district, which encompasses McNairy, Hardin, and the southern half of Decatur counties.

“The time has come for new leadership and representation for our district and our State, and with the help and support of the citizens in Decatur, Hardin, and McNairy Counties, I hope to provide that leadership by being the next State Representative for the 71^st District.”

Dennis has pledged to not raise taxes, and will be a strong voice against an income tax in Tennessee.  “Our state government must learn to live and function within its means, as the citizens of this great state do, and not continue to expand spending faster than our economy expands” said Dennis, in reference to our legislatures’ repeated violations of the Copeland Cap, a constitutional provision which limits the year-over-year growth in state spending to the rate of growth of the state's economy.

Dennis is also committed to strong economic development for our area, stopping eminent domain abuses, ending our current status as a magnet for illegal immigration, slowing the out-of-control increases in health care costs for our citizens, and providing quality education for Tennessee’s children.

 “I will be working very hard in the coming months to meet with as many residents of our district as possible, and I look forward to working with them to keep taxes low, government spending in check, and to put our state on the right path for a successful future for all Tennesseans” said Dennis.
