Left Losing Locally

In Wilson County, TN (and several adjoining counties), there is a special election on December 19 for the State Senate seat that was vacated by Mae Beavers in her quest to become governor.  Early voting ended yesterday. 

The candidates are Republican Mark Pody and Democrat Mary Alice Carfi. Pody is currently a member of the State House of Representatives. Carfi is an attorney.  Pody was one of the few with principles enough to vote against the Gas Tax increase. 

The former Vice Chair of the Wilson County made this public statement about this election:
Mark Pody is author of our own bathroom bill, and as you may know, North Carolinas economy has been crippled from its [passagrle]. Pody has voted against transit for middle TN, has voted AGAINST Equal Pay for Women, voted AGAINST a minimum wage (we currently don't have one), has supported efforts for voucher our education system and has taken a stand that Medicaid expansion isnt important. (280,000 working poor, including 30k veterans do not have access to healthcare!)

VOTE FOR Elect Mary Alice! Born and raised here in District 17, she will focus on solutions to the problems we face in TN! Our children need strong education, our people need access  to affordable healthcare! We don't need someone who is caving to special interests!!


So much inconsistency in a single statement that it is laughable.  Let's break it down:

Mark Pody is author of our own bathroom bill, and as you may know, North Carolinas economy has been crippled from its [passagrle].
It must be presumed the author meant to write "passage." Of course, there is no proof that the economy in NC has been "crippled" by this bill... only #FakeNews wailing.

Pody has voted against transit for middle TN, has voted AGAINST Equal Pay for Women, voted AGAINST a minimum wage (we currently don't have one), has supported efforts for voucher our education system and has taken a stand that Medicaid expansion isnt important. (280,000 working poor, including 30k veterans do not have access to healthcare!)
The $5 Billion transit bill was a complete joke.
The US already has equal pay for women, the bill referenced here was but political posturing and, had it been passed, would have made things terrible for men and women in the job market.
Tennessee does not have a minimum wage. The Federal minimum wage is more than enough, thank you.
Medicaid expansion in Tennessee is completely  unnecessary. We have TennCare.


VOTE FOR Elect Mary Alice! Born and raised here in District 17, she will focus on solutions to the problems we face in TN!
Pody has been doing just that.  In fact, for having been born in the area, it's surprising that Mary Alice is so out of touch with the majority of what would be her constituents.

Our children need strong education,
They already have it.

our people need access  to affordable healthcare!
We already have it. 

We don't need someone who is caving to special interests!!
Exactly why a vote for Pody is needed.  Mary Alice's views do not match those of 60%+ of District 17. 


This is why the Left is losing.  They are so bound to their talking points, they just don't know what is going on.
