TN-08 News: Stephen Fincher reaches 'Contender' status in Young Guns Program

December 10, 2009

Stephen Fincher is a farmer and gospel singer from the West Tennessee community of Frog Jump, where he has spent his entire life.  Having never held or run for public office prior to his bid for TN-08 seat, being vacated by Blue Dog John Tanner, Fincher has already made waves across the country as he’s worked to tap into local grassroots support.

NRCC Chairman Pete Sessions commented: “Stephen Fincher has already proven that he will be a formidable candidate by meeting the Young Guns program’s rigorous goals and is well on his way to building a winning campaign and putting this seat back in the Republican column. Stephen is part of a strong and growing candidate pool of everyday Americans who are frustrated with the majority’s big-government ways and aren’t willing to stand idly by any longer. His campaign has put Democrats on notice that Americans are ready to turn the page on the failed experiment known as the Obama-Pelosi agenda.”
