Leaf Chronicle: Fincher signs pledges on taxes, health care
January 28, 2010
Republican Stephen Fincher, a farmer and businessman from Frog Jump running for the District 8 U.S. Representative seat, has signed three pledges to stand up for the taxpayer.
According to a campaign news release, Fincher has signed Americans for Tax Reform’s “Taxpayer Protection Pledge” (promising to vote no on higher taxes), Americans for Prosperity’s “No Climate Tax” pledge (promising to vote no on cap-and-trade), and Club for Growth’s “Repeal It!” pledge (promising to vote yes on repealing government-run health care).
“Whether it’s higher taxes, nationalized health care or cap-and-trade, I will stand up for the taxpayer against an ever-encroaching federal government,” Fincher said in the release.
In signing these pledges, Fincher also called on all of his competitors — Democrat, Republican and independent — to put labels aside and join him in signing the pleges.
District 8 covers most of West Tennessee and stretches to south Montgomery County.
