19th Senate District

Living in conservative 5th district, one is never surprised when we hear about other conservatives living in the district.  In reading about the candidates for the 19th senate seat once held by congressman elect Robert Hurt,it was surprising to see Hank Davis with such conservative values. (Although I question those values as being a tactic to gain votes.)


One does not like to question one's values, but reading about Mr. Davis is hard to believe from someone on the democratic side of the fence.  Reading about Mr. Davis on his website was almost like reading about a republican.  There are probably many differences, the first that was noticed was he is pro-life, with the exceptions of rape, incest and if the life of the mother is threatened.  Mr. Davis says he is pro-gun, pro-business and he states he was part of a team that brought over 5,000 jobs to the area.  If this is actually the case, why are we not hearing about it in the news?

Bill Stanley, the republican nominee, has listed 12 promises he will keep if he is elected.  Mr. Stanley is pro-life.  In his book there is no, "I believe, except for..."  He will do everything he can to protect human life.  Mr. Stanley will defend the right to bear arms and will protect our constitution.

No one wants to see taxes raised and Mr. Stanley has promised he will not vote to raise taxes.  In our world today, we see more and more government regulations placed on small businesses.  Mr. Stanley wants to see less regulations in the 19th district so we may have an area that is growing.  That existing businesses will increase and new businesses will look to this area to call home.

It is encouraging to see people grow and show enthusiasm for the job at hand.  Mr. Stanley is that person.  He has grown over the last several years, from a member of the Franklin County Republican Unit, Chairman, to District Chairman and now looking to the future as a state senator.

Please spend a few minutes getting to know Mr. Stanley, show him you support him.  Volunteers are needed to help make phone calls, deliver yard signs and talk with neighbors about the special election on January 11th.  As always, for a campaign to be successful, you need funding.  Consider making a donation to Bill Stanley for State Senate.
