Carpenter Union Endorsement

I want to thank the executive committee of the Tennessee Carpenter’s Regional Council and members of Local 74 for their endorsement. It’s a privilege to have their support. To read more about the endorsement, go to the press section of the website.

I have accepted an invitation to appear with the other candidates for Sheriff on a televised forum on WTCI, channel 61, on July 25. The program will air at 8 p.m. that night.

Early voting begins in four weeks and we’ve got a lot of work to do. If you would like to help, click here to join the campaign.

Hwy 58 BBQ a success!

We had a wonderful time with many of our supporters and lots of good BBQ Thursday night at Jeff Chambers’ beautiful home in the Highway 58 area.  See how many of the people you know in the photo section of the web site.

June Is Upon Us

We as a campaign have accomplished a lot in the last five weeks. The headquarters is now up and running. The Grand Opening was held on May 8^th and was a huge success. We had over 400 people in attendance even with threats of tornado warnings.

We also participated in the Red Bank Parade on Saturday, May 10^th. We were worried that our tee shirts would not be ready but thanks to a great vendor we were dressed to kill in our red & blue “Jim Hammond for Sheriff” shirts still warm off the press.

Our yard and 3×4 signs are in and have been flying out the door. Yesterday a volunteer came in and took the last of our 3×4’s. We have already re-ordered and expect our supply to be replenished by the middle of next week. The yard sign supply is still ample, but you will need to contact the headquarters to reserve yours.

Yay! We have bumper stickers. This is a special election and our time period to get organized has been so short. Our vendors have been so understanding working with our tight schedule. You can come by to pick some up or call us and we will mail them to you.

On a sad note we need to remember Larry Frazier and his family. Larry’s brother-in-law passed away last week. Larry is one of our volunteers here on staff at the headquarters.

This weekend will be the last for our volunteers to weed their garden, work on their tans, and rest up. Keep your eye out for red & blue “Jim Hammond for Sheriff” tee shirts in your neighborhood.

Remember the Hamilton County Republican Women’s picnic tonight at Greenway Farms @ 6:00. I look forward to meeting some new people. Also, the Tennessee Valley Republican Women are having their picnic tomorrow night at the Tennessee Riverpark’s West Pavillion. I hope to see you all there.
More updates coming.
