Zelenik Campaign Blasts Diane Black For False Advertising

Posted: 2010-07-26 by Zelenik Campaign

Murfreesboro - Sixth District Congressional Candidate Lou Ann Zelenik has responded to her opponent, Diane Black, for running a completely false attack on Zelenik. In her latest television ad Black accuses Zelenik, as a public official, of supporting a one thousand dollar tax increase on Rutherford County families. Jay Heine, Zelenik's campaign manager, has responded by charging Black with running the false ad. "Lou Ann Zelenik has never even held an elected office, and therefore never had the opportunity to support or vote for a tax increase. Lou Ann would never support tax increases", said Heine.

 

 

"The willingness of Diane Black to simply make up a charge out of thin air says much more about senator Black's desperation and morality than perhaps anyone could have suspected." Heine continued, "For senator Black to do this is more proof that being a professional politician has taught her very bad lessons. Dishonesty and duplicity are among those lessons. Senator Black does not want to discuss the money she voted for her husband's company and she doesn't want to talk about voting to break the Copeland cap on spending so she could increase the state budget burden on Tennessee taxpayers by billions of dollars. She also doesn't want to discuss supporting an across the board sales tax increase and she is quite willing to misrepresent any portion of the truth."
 
Heine concluded, "Diane Black has proven though her actions what type of person she really is and now all the voters in the sixth district can see the truth. Her liberal voting record on taxing and spending, her attempt to make sanctuary counties for illegals in her senate district, her support for the anchor baby provisions in current law, and her vote for driving certificates for illegals are reasonable issues to discuss. But to avoid defending the indefensible, she has gone as low as any politician I have ever been exposed to."
Zelenik is campaigning for the GOP nomination in Tennessee's sixth congressional district. It has been held by long time Democrat Congressman Bart Gordon who announced his retirement late last year. Zelenik is a Murfreesboro businesswoman, former Chair of the Rutherford County GOP, and a leader in the Middle Tennessee Tea Party movement. She announce her candidacy last fall, and Gordon announced his retirement shortly afterwards."

Primary Issues

  • Spending and the Expansion of Government - Federal government spending has gotten out of control and as a result we are saddling our children and future generations with unsustainable amounts of debt.
  • Healthcare - The U.S healthcare system is the best in the world, and it is vital that we not only continue to keep it the best but work to increase access to it so every American can receive the care they need.
  • Energy Independence & Our Environment - The taxes and radical environmental policies of the Democratic leadership are breaking the backs of working families and the businesses that employee them.
