Robin Smith Statement on District 62 Special Election

HIXSON, TN – Third District Congressional Candidate Robin Smith issued the following statement following the victory of Republican candidate Pat Marsh in the Tennessee House District 62 special election:

“Tonight the voters of the 62^nd District affirmed what we heard across Tennessee in November of 2008. Tennesseans are looking for positive results-based conservative leadership to deal with the problems facing our state and nation. Once again, the voters saw through the empty negative tactics of the Tennessee Democrat Party and resoundingly stated they want Tennessee to take a new direction.

I congratulate Pat Marsh, the House Republican Caucus Leadership and my friends at the Tennessee Republican Party for a well run campaign. I look forward to continuing to work with them to provide the consistent conservative leadership Tennesseans validated again this evening.”
