NASHVILLE, TN – Tennessee Republican Party Chairman Chris Devaney issued a statement after the Tennessee Democratic Party announced that Vice President Joe Biden will be the keynote speaker at their annual Jackson Day Dinner:

“Vice President Joe Biden’s visit will serve as a great pre-election reminder to Tennesseans of how Democrat rule in Washington has resulted in nothing more than a big-spending, big-government, job-killing agenda that voters don’t want. Despite this Administration’s promises of job creation and economic growth, thousands of Tennesseans are still trying to find work as our state’s unemployment continues to hover in the double digits.

“The Tennessee Republican Party welcomes Vice President Biden to Nashville.”
