Senator Bo Watson Launches Leadership Political Action Committee

  • Friday, June 24, 2016
Senator Bo Watson (R-Chattanooga) said he has launched a leadership political action committee, BoWPAC, to lead in efforts to support the Republican majority in the upper Tennessee legislative chamber.
 
Senator Watson, who is Speaker Pro Tempore of the Senate said, "As an elected body, the Tennessee Senate has proven its leadership in effective policy for our state that has honored the trust of Tennesseans.  Elections require the fuel of funding and BoWPAC will be part of our successes ahead.
 
"The 33 seat Tennessee Senate is currently comprised of 28 Republican Senators and five Democrats.  The super majority of GOP legislators has led the legislative efforts in eliminating the Hall Income Tax, increasing teacher pay and classroom funding, cultivated a climate of business and worker friendliness with tax policy and reasonable costs of living all while balancing the state budget with no tax increases.

"Good policy can make good politics.  The Tennessee Senate has made that its priority.
Electing leaders who remain focused and committed to our overall goal of effectively serving Tennesseans through a limited, accountable government framework is our task at hand."

Bo Watson was first elected to the Tennessee Senate in 2007 and he became Speaker Pro Tempore of the upper chamber in 2011.  He is currently first vice chairman of both the Senate Finance and Health and Welfare Committees.

Amy Walden is treasurer of BoWPAC.
