Darden gets vote of confidence for Congress
To the Editor:
At last count, there are over a dozen primary candidates eligible to run for the 1st Congressional District seat being vacated by Dr. Phil Roe. I have done my research and can unequivocally support Steve Darden as the clear best choice for the office. We do not need career politicians in Washington; we need level-headed legislators who can step in and lead a reconciliation effort between the Congressional factions as this nation moves forward after the COVID-19 pandemic.
Steve Darden is such a man. During his tenure as a City Commissioner, Vice Mayor, and Mayor, Steve demonstrated first-rate problem-solving skills and innovative thinking for the future of Johnson City and its surrounds. His leadership in the effort to obtain the property and construct the Johnson City/Washington County Veterans Memorial is but one example of his ability to get things done. Steve Darden has the unique blend of a successful career, small business ownership, and superb leadership in public office.
These qualities will serve him well as our next 1st District Congressman!
