An open plea to Mayor Tim Burchett and Gov. Bill Haslam: Stop Campfield

Betty Bean of the Knox County Shopper-News has written a thoughtful plea to Mayor Tim Burchett and Governor Bill Haslam asking for their help in stopping the dangerous chatter of the ignorant State Senatore Stacy Campfield.

If you remember, this is the man who tried to argue medical facts that he read about on the internet and who has been repeatedly knocked down by medical professionals and radio hosts (not to mention entrepreneurs) .

Enjoy the full plea here but let me leave you with this gem from Ms. Bean:

With all due respect, you owe it to the rest of us. True, you didn’t create him, but you certainly were his enablers.

About the author

I’m Tommy, a writer and storyteller who works in marketing for the arts and cultural communities. I’m the author of Mabel Stanley and the Town That Was Built All Wrong, a fun and heartfelt book, and I’m currently working on a novel about self-discovery and the complexities of memory. Writing is a big part of my life, but I also enjoy creating experiences that bring people together, which is why my husband, Matt, and I co-run the online store Have Fun Spread Joy. It’s all about embracing the playful side of life and giving back along the way. I’m married to Matt, and we share our home with our two pets, Zoey (the cat) and Dixie (the dog). When I’m not writing, working on our store, or doing marketing for the arts, I like to dive into theater, something I want to get more involved with over time. I was diagnosed with ADHD, and while it comes with its own set of challenges, it also gives me a unique perspective that I try to channel into everything I do. Whether it’s writing, working on creative projects, or finding ways to spread joy, I’m all about making a lasting impact in whatever I do.
