Earlier today, we issued the following press release. Congressman Bart Gordon will be in attendance and is pleased to introduce his good friend Congressman Lincoln Davis as keynote speaker.
The Rutherford County Democratic Party (RCDP) announced today that they have sold out the first straw poll in the 2010 Democratic primary for Governor of Tennessee. The 1st Annual Rutherford County Grow Tennessee dinner will take place Saturday Sept. 19th from 6-7pm CT at MTSU’s James Union Building in the Tennessee Ballroom. Congressman Bart Gordon’s good friend Congressman Lincoln Davis will give the keynote speech at the event.
The evening is hosted by Rep. Kent & Cecil Coleman, Rep. John & Marilyn Hood, Sen. Andy & Cherry Womack, and Ms. Sandra Y. Trail. The event is a fundraiser that will also serve as an important early straw poll of Middle Tennessee Democrats on who they feel has the best vision to move Tennessee forward as our next Governor.
“Not only did we quickly sell out the event we also maxed out the Tennessee Ballroom’s 360 person capacity,” said RCDP Chairman Jonathon Fagan. “The candidate that wins this straw poll will send a strong message to the party, press and donors for weeks to come that they are a serious candidate to move our state forward.”
Gubernatorial candidates Sen. Jim Kyle, Kim McMillan, Sen. Roy Herron, Mike McWherter and Ward Cammack will be at this event and share brief words about the future of our great state.
