Leming, who’s seeking the Democratic nomination for the 6th Congressional District in the upcoming Aug. 5 primary, will talk in detail about his approach to creating more jobs throughout Middle Tennessee and in turn boosting the country’s economy.
“Jobs are the single most important issue facing this district and this country,” Leming said in the news release. “Any representative in Congress needs to have a plan to address this issue. I’m excited to share my plan with Middle Tennesseans.”
If Leming wins the primary, he’ll face the Republican nominee and several independents competing in the Nov. 2 election. This will be the second press conference convened by Leming and a great opportunity for media from around the district to speak with him, the news release states.
The press conference will begin promptly at 1 p.m. with a statement by Leming. Media, supporters, and concerned citizens will then have an opportunity to have their questions answered live by the candidate.
Leming, a Marine Captain, Naval Academy graduate, and Iraq War helicopter combat veteran, is running for the seat vacated by retiring U.S. Rep. Bart Gordon, D-Murfreesboro.
