Jobs & Economic Development
Rural West Tennesseans need good jobs at good wages. Too many hard-working Tennesseans are struggling to provide for their families. Far too many have been left out and left behind. As your State Representative, I will work to bring new employers, industries, and jobs to our District.
Health Care
No one should lose their home when they get sick or lose their life because they can’t afford to go to the doctor. But Tennessee refused federal funds to expand Medicaid, leaving hundreds of thousands without health insurance. If we don’t take the money, Tennesseans will pay taxes for other states to get health care, but too many of our men and women will do without. No one’s parent or child should die because the local hospital closed. Yet recently hospitals in McKenzie and six other rural West Tennessee towns have closed. Tennessee is losing more hospitals than any state in the nation except one. I support former Governor Haslam’s plan to save lives and save hospitals by accepting federal funds and Tennessee taxpayers keeping money here instead of sending it to California and New York.
Education
Our children are our future. Every single child in Tennessee, regardless of their zip code, deserves an opportunity to succeed. I will work hand-in-hand with teachers to meet the challenges they face in the classroom and make sure they have the resources our children need. Our teachers deserve to be treated and compensated like the professionals they are. And I will make sure teachers and parents can help our children without government bureaucrats in Nashville interfering with our schools.
Meet Jeff Washburn
“I will use my experience to work for you in Nashville. I promise to always put the people of the 76th district first.
I am the independent voice for State Representative.
I am a centrist who incorporates both Republican and Democratic philosophies, which most moderate Republicans and Democrats can easily identify with.
I am a fiscal conservative and these values have guided me during my tenure as Mayor of the City of Dresden for the past five years and as a Dresden City Alderman for two years prior to becoming Mayor.
I demand accountability from department heads and employees of the city as Mayor. I will do the same as your State Representative.” – Jeff
Jeff and his wife, Jennifer, attend Bible Union Church where he is the song leader. They have five children and 11 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. He is Dresden Mayor, an attorney and a resturant owner.
