As we all know, we are blessed to live in the most Republican county in the State of Tennessee. In the next few weeks, we will have several gubernatorial candidates visit our area. All of these events are sponsored by the individual candidates. We encourage you to attend as many of these meetings as possible. Please take time to get to know these gentlemen. One of them might be our next Governor!
