The Jackson Sun Endorses Vance Dennis!

The Jackson Sun
October 26, 2008


Vance Dennis for House District 71

The Jackson Sun endorses Vance Dennis for House District 71. Dennis brings a lot to the table, but the one thing that sets him apart is his desire to represent the people of his district. He first ran for the seat against retiring incumbent Randy Rinks in 2006.

Dennis is a realist and understands the top issues facing his district are jobs and the economy. He understands, given the current state of the state's economy, some belt tightening might be in order. He favors a flat cut across the board for everything but education.

Dennis also is a realist when it comes to economic development for his district. He understands the need for completing road projects. He also understands the need for different counties in his district to work together to attract businesses that will benefit everyone.


Dennis is an attorney with a degree in agriculture business. That combination gives him an understanding of the agriculture that is the backbone of his district. It also gives him the ability to effectively frame an argument and the ability to compromise. Already, he has promised to reach across the aisle, as long as the other side is willing to compromise.

One issue that we particularly like Dennis on, the issue of open records and open government. Dennis favors open government and open records, and says both should be as transparent as possible. He's even in favor of expanding the law.

Dennis brings a refreshing sense of openness to state government. He's got the education, the understanding and the desire which could make him a first-class representative for the people of District 71.

Mike Huckabee endorses Vance Dennis for state representative

Former Arkansas Governor and 2008 Presidential Candidate Mike Huckabee this week announced his endorsement of Vance Dennis for State Representative. "Vance believes that the people of District 71 need a representative with the ability and tenacity to fight for the common-sense, conservative values that the people of Decatur, Hardin and McNairy Counties hold dear," Huckabee stated. Saying he was "proud" to endorse Vance Dennis, Huckabee noted Dennis' fiscal conservatism and pledge to fight a state income tax, a state-wide property tax, and any increase in the gas tax. In addition, Huckabee said Dennis is pro-life and supports SJR 127, a proposed constitutional amendment that would allow the Tennessee legislature to place reasonable restrictions on abortions performed in Tennessee. "I'm honored to be endorsed by Governor Huckabee," Dennis said. "He is a national leader on conservative issues and family values, and I appreciate his faith and confidence in me." Governor Huckabee posted his endorsement on his blog: http://www.huckpac.com/?FuseAction=Blogs.View&Blog_id=1950

Governor Huckabee Endorses Vance Dennis for State Representative!

We were very excited to get a call from Gov. Huckabee yesterday asking us to vote for Vance Dennis! This is what the front page of his website looks like today.

Featured Candidate: Vance Dennis
by Mike Huckabee

I am proud to endorse Vance Dennis for the Tennessee House of Representatives for District 71. Vance is a native of Hardin County and is a practicing Attorney. Vance believes that the people of District 71 need a representative with the ability and tenacity to fight for the common-sense, conservative values that the people of Decatur, Hardin and McNairy Counties hold dear.

Vance Dennis has pledged not to raise taxes and he will be a strong voice against a state income tax. He also advocates the return of excess tax collections by means of a reduction or elimination of the sales tax on food. Vance is pro-life and supports SJR 127, a proposed constitutional amendment that would allow our legislature to place reasonable restrictions on abortions performed in Tennessee. Vance Dennis says “Eight years ago, our state Supreme Court decided that the Tennessee Constitution does not allow us to place any restrictions upon abortion, including partial-birth abortion, which means that we are one of the most liberal states in the nation in regards to abortion. That is why I support a constitutional amendment that would overturn our Supreme Court’s decision and allow Tennesseans to adopt common-sense regulations on abortion, such as waiting periods and counseling.”

Thank you, Gov. Huckabee!!
