For the past 4 years we have been privileged to have Vance Dennis representing us in the State House. Sadly, due to redistricting this year, our county is no longer part of Vance's district. We are really going to miss having him as our Representative!
Vance has 2 1/2 new counties in his district now, and we've still enjoyed helping with his re-election campaign. Last week some of us attended a fish fry that Vance hosted in Lewis County. We are grateful to Governor Haslam for making time in his schedule to attend the event in support of Vance.
The Wayne Jerrolds Band from Savannah provided music for the event.

It was estimated that over 250 people attended the event.
Governor Haslam speaks with some of the guests
Vance is a wonderful representative - always ready to listen to the people whom he represents.
Ashley (Vance's wife) and Carlee (campaign manager) are such assets to the campaign!

Here are a couple of video clips of the speeches
Short Version:
(A 3 1/2 minute clip of the Governor talking about why it is important that the 71st district re-elect Vance)
Longer Version:
(The entirety of both Vance's and the Governor's speeches - a little longer, but worth watching!)
To everyone in the new 71st district (Hardin, Lewis, Wayne, and part of Lawrence Counties) - since we can't do so anymore, please vote to re-elect Vance Dennis as your representative! Tennessee needs the kind of leadership he has to offer.
This car was made famous by former McNairy County Sheriff, Buford Pusser.
Some of us enjoyed riding in the parade with Vance and Ashley Dennis.

Sweet little William

Number crunching in the basement with McNairy County GOP Chairman, Charles Lee, and Mrs. Tennyson.
About this time the numbers for State Senate and State Representative were starting to look really good! Vance Dennis was not expected to carry any of the precincts in McNairy County, since it is his opponent's home county, but he won the majority of them!!!
Selmer Alderman John Smith announces the latest numbers ~ David cheers! :) We were pretty excited!
GOP cookies!
Our county did not cooperate with the rest of the country last night! John McCain won with 68% of the vote and Lamar Alexander won our county with 69%. McNairy County also carried Vance Dennis and Dolores Gresham to big wins in their districts.
