CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – The Montgomery County Libertarian Party will host a meet and greet for independent gubernatorial candidate Heather Scott on Wednesday, September 12 at 6:30 p.m. at La Casa Taqueria.
“I have spoken with so many Tennesseans who are tired of the divisiveness of the two-party duopoly. They want more choices. This is the reason I am running for Governor,” Scott said in a press release.
Scott served two terms as a Wilson County Commissioner from 2002 until 2010.
“People were disappointed that I did not seek a third term,” said Scott of her time in office. “As a Libertarian, I learned to work with other Commissioners by focusing on the issue. It’s about listening to each other and engaging in respectful discussion. You realize quickly that you have the same goal, it’s the means to that goal that may be different.”
Scott says her campaign is focused on reducing the size and scope of government through fiscal responsibility and free market solutions while protecting individual liberty.
“People are tired of the ridiculous laws restricting personal freedom passed by our state legislators. They are also tired of all the unconstitutional federal mandates, on both their personal liberty and the family budget,” Scott said. “Tennesseans need a strong leader who will get government out of their way.”
