Rep. Zach Wamp’s excellent service

   The excellent service of Rep. Zach Wamp in the U.S. House of Representatives has been so outstanding that it is fitting he has only nominal challengers in his Republican primary election Aug. 3, and also from Democrats. When we have such a good congressman, it just makes sense to keep him.

   Rep. Wamp was first elected in 1994. He is a sound conservative. He has made an excellent record of independent thinking, sound reasoning and admirable philosophy throughout his congressional service.

   As important as that is, his effectiveness has been much broader.

   He gives careful personal attention to the individual concerns of his constituents as they deal with the federal government. He makes many visits throughout his district to be available to the people he represents.

   He also has been a very effective leader for economic development throughout our whole area.

   We look forward to his re-election for more excellent service.
