REPUBLICAN JASON EMERT ANNOUNCES CANDIDACY FOR TENNESSEE’S SECOND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT

Knoxville, TN – Today, 8th generation East Tennessean and conservative businessman Jason Emert announced his entrance into the race for U.S. Congress in Tennessee’s 2nd District. The seat is open after Congressman John J. Duncan, Jr. announced earlier this year that he would not seek re-election.

Emert announced his campaign by releasing a video to his supporters.


“I’m running for Congress because Washington needs more businessmen and not more career politicians. Folks who will cut taxes, repeal Obamacare, and defend the 2nd Amendment,” said Emert.

“What makes America different is what makes it great: our God-given liberty, endowed by our creator and enshrined in the Constitution. But that America is threatened today by a failing Washington,” Emert continued. “Career politicians and special interests haven’t put America first. As someone who was born in East Tennessee, attended public school here, got married here and now runs a business here – I won’t go off to Washington and forget about the people I’ve known all my life.”

“I’m a conservative because of where I come from. This place and our values are part of my soul. I’m ready to roll up my sleeves and fight for our way of life. Let’s make Washington work for us again,” concluded Emert.
