On March 23 Scott Hughes officially filed a petition to run for the Tennessee State House of Representative seat for District 8. District 8 covers portions of Blount and Sevier County. The areas covered include Alcoa, Townsend, Rockford, Walland, Gatlinburg, and portions of Maryville, Seymour, Pigeon Forge and Sevierville.
Hughes, his wife Raychel and their four children have lived in District 8 for six years. Currently they reside off of Burnett Station Road in Seymour. Three of their four children attend Porter Elementary School. Hughes and his wife are dedicated to District 8 and feel very fortunate to be residing and sending their children to school in the District.
“I would like to thank and commend Representative Joe McCord for his twelve years of service to this District. His leadership in Nashville has proved to be very beneficial for our community. I have thought about running for many years, but did not see a reason to run against a conservative legislator like Representative McCord. I look forward to meeting many residents over the next four months leading up to the primary election. I am a man that has lived his life based on the conservative values of my faith and my family. A man that has devoted my life to many social justice causes, including the defense of the unborn. I believe in Blount and Sevier County and I’m looking forward to the opportunity to serve,” said Hughes
Hughes has worked in non-profit management for the past ten years, most recently as Executive Director of a Crisis Pregnancy Center in Knoxville. He has been an active part of the Pro-Life Coalition of East Tennessee. He believes in personal responsibility and limited government. He strongly supports the “Tennessee Health Freedom Act”, which would declare it state policy that Tennesseans have the right to decline federally mandated health insurance.
Hughes believes what Blount and Sevier County needs is a leader, not another politician. Scott believes strongly in, leadership, life, fiscal Responsibility, family, education, justice and environment.
