The Last Waltz for a Tennessee Lawmaker and Four More to Go

 

Memphis TN – It was a sad day in Tennessee politics yesterday when former state representative Chris Newton was sentenced to a year and a day in federal prison after he pleaded guilty in the Tennessee Waltz sting.  The people of Tennessee still have four more lawmakers to put on tri al on what seems to be a full dance card.

Tom Guleff , a candidate for Congress in the 9th District says, “How much more can we take of these politic al slugs?”  Running his campaign on the theme of Solving Issues with Integrity, Tom Guleff is a new fresh face on the Republican landscape.  Citizens in the 9th District are disillusioned with corruption, cronyism and bribery that seem to be a part of their representation.  According to Terry Roland, District 29, “lobbyists are running rampant.”  And even Chris Newton chimed in after his sentencing stating that the legislative process has become “saturated with money and special interests.”

 

Terms limits are one way to solve some of this ongoing politic al corruption.  Tom Guleff is committed to imposing term limits on politicians so that their influence is short-lived and their interests stay focused on the issues and not lining their own pockets. Tom Guleff pledges not to accept any gifts from lobbyists.  There won’t be any pictures of Tom Guleff and special interest groups.  Tom’s special interests will be only for the people in the 9th District and no one else.

 

A lot of people are t al king about Tom Guleff ’s website.  It’s unique and every e-mail is answered.  This is a loc al boy who made good and came back to Memphis to share his honesty and integrity with a place he loves.  Say goodbye to those Tennessee Waltzers; they’ve been sent up the river.  It’s time for change. Check out Tom Guleff ’s website at http://www.tomguleff.com/ you’ll see why people are getting interested in politics again.
