News release from Tennessee State Employees Association:
NASHVILLE – The Tennessee Employees Action Movement (TEAM) – the PAC of the Tennessee State Employees Association – proudly endorses David Hawk, R-Greeneville, in the upcoming general election for the District 5 seat of the Tennessee House of Representatives.
“Representative Hawk has always advocated for state employees and retirees during his tenure in the State Legislature,” said James Braswell, Chair of the TEAM Administrative Committee. “As demonstrated by his efforts to save Greene Valley Developmental Center, he understands that quality services depend on a motivated, effective, and efficient workforce. We are proud to endorse David Hawk’s campaign.”
Republican nominee David Hawk says, “I believe state employees are essential to all citizens of Tennessee and the work they do should be valued by all. I think it is the responsibility of all legislators to know the working conditions of State Employees, to support them, and to ensure they are treated fairly by the State Government.”
