News Updates From Herron for Congress
Reflections on Election Night
Upon one of Abraham Lincoln’s several election defeats, on a night like this, Lincoln quipped, “I feel like the little boy who stubbed his toe in the dark. I am too old to cry, but it hurts too much to laugh.”Fincher Under Fire
WASHINGTON -- The Federal Election Commission has contacted the Gates Banking and Trust Company and its Memphis lawyer regarding a $250,000 loan the bank made to 8th Congressional District candidate Stephen Fincher, both said Wednesday.
The bank loan is not mentioned in Fincher's filings with the agency dealing with federal election law but Fincher's committee filed a statement with the FEC saying the candidate loaned it $250,000 from "personal funds."Jackson Sun: Rulings Needed on Fincher Finances
The Federal Election Commission and the U.S Attorney's Office should swiftly investigate complaints about the financial disclosures of congressional candidate Stephen Fincher and a $250,000 loan received by Fincher's campaign.While we appreciate the reluctance of government agencies to get involved in campaign issues, these matters need to be resolved before Election Day. The initial complaints were filed more than a month before the election and deserved immediate attention.
Fincher Files False Form - Again
DRESDEN, Tenn. - Congressional candidate Stephen Fincher filed Tuesday another false form with the Federal Election Commission attempting to cover up an illegal $250,000 campaign contribution.

Representatives from 3 local hospitals will be part of "Prescriptions for Change" which will feature a 7 member panel of health care providers and advocates who will speak of their concerns about health care reform and take questions from the audience. Those in attendance will also be given the opportunity to let their voices be heard all the way to Washington with individual and group sign ups and opinion forms available. And yes there will be cake/coffee /tea & lemonade too! The event starts at 10a.m. Saturday July 25th at Tullahoma Business Center on Wilson Ave. across from Crockett's. From Manchester go to 2nd lite and turn right on Jackson. Go to Walgreens and turn left on Wilson. Center is on right.

God and I love everyone! We are embarking on a campaign for the purpose of making Tennessee a safe, happy and prosperous place to live. As an Independent with certain views on certain issues, it will be necessary to show respect for my competitors -- Democrats and Republicans. Communication between us, politicians and citizens, should always be focused on mutual interests that surpass personal aspirations. May the best person be elected to serve the wonderful people of our great state!

Senator Herron gave an incredible message at the Prayer Breakfast at the TNDP Summit last weekend. He's really got "it" - the ability to relate to both rural and urban, religious and non. Thanks, Senator Herron, for your efforts to bring the state together!

I am very interested in Senator Herron's campaign, and will continue to look at it in the coming months. I do want more candidates to announce before I pledge my support to any one person. However, I am very interested in what he has to say!

I helped with Governor Bredesens campaign and am convence he was, because he pushed for votes in East Tennessee. I pray Herron does the same. If he don't I fear he will loose. I know this is a Republican Area but Democrates need to fight here, it's NOT IMPOSSIBLE to win the area.
