Announcement for candidacy
Shelbyville’s Chris T. Brown has announced his candidacy for SHERIFF.of Bedford Co. "I am a firm believer in defending the Constitution of the United States against foreign and domestic invasion," Brown said. "Since the two political parties have basically picked away at the Constitution and are trying to strip us of our rights, I feel this constitutes domestic invasion. "It is an honor for me to be able to represent the Constitution Party as a conservative citizen and run for SHERIFF … I know a lot of you are from other counties and other states. I am asking you for your help, because we need to take back one town, one county, and one state at time, to get our country back. "We have to run as an Independent because in Tennessee, ballot access for all political candidates who do not fall into the category of Republican or Democrat is difficult," he said. "Third party candidates almost never get named on the ballot as a nominee of their particular party. Generally, third party candidates are forced to run as Independent candidates, preventing thousands of Tennesseans from rallying around their chosen parties’ nominees. "Limiting ballot access to only two parties does a great disservice to Tennesseans," Brown continued. "It discourages participation in the political process, limits potions, stifles debate on key issues, and preserves and expands the power of incumbents. |
