CWA Endorses Jim Hawkins for State Senate |
|
Billie Dunn, Legislative chair, and President Rick Feinstein meet with Tennessee State Senate candidate, Jim Hawkins. |
|
CWA Local 3808 has endorsed Jim Hawkins for the 18th District in the Tennessee State Senate. District 18 include all of Robertson County and most of Sumner County.
Jim and his wife Betsy live in Gallatin. He is a former lawyer with BellSouth who came home to Tennessee to join the Legal Aid Society and serve those in need. For the past 6 years, Jim has provided free legal help to low income families, senior citizens and veterans, and survivors of domestic violence.
Progress, Not Politics
Jim appears to be an individual who could jump right in to the State Senate and provide needed leadership. “Too often, partisan gridlock and special interest have kept our State Senate from focusing on the problems and opportunities facing Tennessee families,” Jim says. “Folks throughout this district have repeatedly told me that we have got to have a change from “politics as usual.”
CWA Local 3808 encourages you to vote for and support Jim Hawkins for District 18 in the State Senate.
