Van Hilleary Challenges Ed Bryant to a Conservative Truce

05.12.06

Nashville, TN - Van Hilleary candidate for Tennessee’s U.S. Senate seat today called on his fellow conservative opponent Ed Bryant to join him in a “conservative truce”. Hilleary emphasized the importance of electing a sincere conservative to the U.S. Senate and of mutually refraining from campaign attacks on fellow conservatives. Hilleary is optimistic Bryant will agree.

“We are at a point in our nation’s history where it is critical that we elect a solid sincere conservative to the United States Senate. In this primary all three candidates sound conservative but the truth is only Ed Bryant and I have conservative records to match our words. Bob Corker on the other hand, sounds conservative but his record is anything but conservative. Bob Corker has raised taxes, run for the U.S. Senate as a pro-abortion rights candidate, is supported by the pro-income tax wing of the Party and has a history of supporting democrats and of voting in Democrat primaries,” said Hilleary. “Unfortunately for Tennesseans, Bob does have enough resources to deceive voters into believing he is something he is not. That is why I feel it is important that Ed Bryant join me in pledging to focus our campaigns on spreading our own conservative messages and educating Tennesseans about the real Bob Corker and his record. I hope Ed will agree.”
