Sparks endorsed by TN RTL for House Seat in 49th District

NASHVILLE — The state’s oldest and largest pro-life organization has announced its official endorsement of Mike Sparks for the Tennessee House of Representatives 49th District seat.

"With the election of Sparks, constituents in this district have a unique opportunity to add a pro-life vote to the makeup of the Tennessee state House," Tennessee Right to Life President Brian Harris said in the news release.

"Mike represents the ideals of our movement, and we know that he will be an outstanding advocate for the protection of life in our state."

Election of pro-life leaders is all the more critical considering continuing debate on SJR 127, a proposed constitutional amendment resolution calling for a public vote on abortion regulation in Tennessee. The resolution has passed the House and the Senate, but must be approved again next session by a “super majority” requiring the votes of 66 members of the Tennessee House.

"We are confident that Mike Sparks' vote will always be in support of restoring common sense balance to Tennessee's current policy of abortion on demand," Harris added. "Tennessee Right to Life urges concerned pro-life supporters to work and vote for Sparks' election on November 2."
