Thanks Supporters,
Announces New Campaign
To The Editor:
I would like to thank all of my
supporters for all their efforts
throughout the entire election. I
have no regrets. The campaign has
been worth it all. The new
acquaintances I have met along
with the renewal of close bonds
with the many friends and
supporters in all areas of
District 1 have been amazing. I
do not want any of my supporters
to feel as if they could have
done any more. I am still
astonished by your efforts.
This has been the demise of
District 1 in my opinion due to
the Government bureaucracy in
redistricting District 1 and
dividing our close knit community
and by the enormous amount of
money poured into the campaign of
my opponent by Political Action
Committees (PAC). These include
Gaylord, Nashville Business
Coalition, etc. In my opinion
they strive to do nothing more
than legal bribery and buy votes
in the council. Again I make a
pledge to this District: I will
never accept PAC money or special
interest contributions.
I have already started my next
campaign hoping that in the next
four years there will be
something left of our district,
as we know it, to preserve. I am
looking forward to being your
next representative, but only if
I can represent the ones that
mean so much to me--the people of
District 1.
Sincerely,
Ken Jakes
