CAMPBELL COUNTY, TN (SPECIAL TO WLAF)– State Representative Dennis Powers (R-Jacksboro) today announced he is seeking re-election to continue serving District 36 in the Tennessee House of Representatives.

“Serving the people of Campbell, Union, and Claiborne Counties in Nashville has been the greatest honor of my life. Together, we’ve put Tennessee first and defended the Christian conservative values that make our communities strong.

Rep. Powers and his wife, Tracy, have been married for 38 years and are active members of First Baptist Church of Jacksboro. He currently serves as Chairman of the House Private Acts Committee and as a member of the Calendar & Rules Committee, Commerce Committee, and State & Local Government Committee, as well as the Business & Utilities Subcommittee and the Departments & Agencies Subcommittee.
