Stacey Campfield for State Senator

Knoxville, TN – State Representative Stacey Campfield, R-Knoxville, announced today that he will seek the 7th senatorial district being vacated by retiring state Senator Tim Burchett.

“Tim has been a vocal leader in the state for Knox county as the deligation chairman,” Rep. Campfield said. “I think I can make a smooth transition into that role having served for years as the delegation’s vice chairman.”

The 7th senatorial district (map) covers most of North East and West Knox county.

“It has been a privilege to serve the people in House District 18 (map) and I have been able to make some great friends,” Rep. Campfield said. “I look forward to meeting and hearing the concerns of folks all across the 7th District.

“My priority continues to be devoting much time to getting input from our citizens by personally visiting with them at their doorstep, sending out questionnaires, hosting listening tours and forums, guest hosting on talk radio and TV call in shows and other means of communication like my blog,” Rep. Campfield added.

“Listening to people now, most people are concerned with the explosive growth in government taking place, I’m hearing concerns from many citizens that massive spending and government control programs threaten the way of life and freedoms they have loved and hope to pass on. Heightened fear over possible new taxation, increased regulation or economic possibilities such as hyper-inflation is causing more Tennesseans to demand more engagement from their State Representatives and more action from their state,” said rep. Campfield, a three-term state representative.

“Now is a time when we must have bold leadership from proven conservatives,” Rep. Campfield said. “Someone who will not just talk conservative at election time but someone who has a proven record of fighting for those values in Nashville.”

Efforts by Rep. Campfield have been in support of property rights, 2nd amendment rights, pro-life legislation, low taxes, fiscal restraint, government accountability, and free market solutions.

Rep. Campfield consistently receives the highest conservative ratings from the Tennessee Conservative Union, Tennessee Right to Life, the NRA and the National Federation of Independent Businesses.

Rep. Campfield was first elected to the Tennessee General Assembly in 2004. He was appointed as Chairman of the State and Local Subcommittee of the Government Operations Committee as well as a member of Consumer and Employee Affairs and the Children and Family Affairs Committee in the House of Representatives.
