Letter: Fleischmann a good fit for Third District

To the Editor:

I have known Chuck Fleischmann for over five years and know him to be a good family man and a person of integrity. Chuck Fleischmann has served nearly three terms in the United States House of Representatives and has never strayed from his conservative values. He has voted in a fashion that fits the values of the majority of the Third District of Tennessee. Chuck, quite simply, is a good fit for the district.

Chuck opposes amnesty, votes to protect the Second Amendment, and supports the free market. He has repeatedly championed our free enterprise system. Chuck is a committed conservative, which can be seen in his voting record.

His commitment to veterans can be seen in the three new Veteran’s Affairs clincs in our district.

Chuck works closely with the Department of Energy. He is respected and well-liked by the folks at the Department of Energy. Chuck has come to know the inner workings of the Department of Energy quite well. If you have ever spoken to Chuck about Oak Ridge, you know this to be true.

Chuck’s peers recognize him as a valuable member of the house. He serves on the Appropriations Committee, the only Tennessee member to do so. He also serves on the Energy and Water Subcommittees. These are invaluable positions to hold especially when you consider the needs of Oak Ridge.

Chuck has worked hard his entire life. He overcame the loss of his mother at a young age, mopped the floors of McDonald’s, but still managed go to college, get a degree, and run a successful business alongside his wife before being elected to Congress.

Chuck is a solid choice on November 4 because he is committed to the people of the Third District of Tennessee and in tune with the people of the district. Don’t take this election for granted—get out and vote.
