FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

On August 3, 2006 Democrats in the Third Congressional District voted in the primary to elect a Democratic nominee for the 3rd Congressional District.  I have examined the vote totals, and based upon that examination I am declaring victory in the primary election.  I believe the vote totals are accurate, and I believe it is now time for Democrats in the Third Congressional District to unify, and begin the work ahead of us to replace Congressman Zach Wamp.  I believe there are many important issues facing us as a country, and I believe that we must unify and began working together to change the direction of this country.  Over the next few months I look forward to debating Congressman Zach Wamp on issues such as immigration, high fuel prices, the economy, and the future of our country.  I am challenging Mr. Wamp to a series of debates to discuss issues facing us as a Community and for our Country. 

 

As of today, I am the Democratic nominee and I am seeking to be the next Congressman from the Third Congressional District.

 

I congratulate Terry Stulce on a campaign well-run, and I hope that he and his volunteers join me in my campaign so that we can present a unified front in changing the direction of our country and of this District.
