So You’re Open To Voting For Ramsey Or Are You Just Flappin’ Your Gums?

12th District state Senate candidate Becky Ruppe sounds off with some very Kuritaesque rhetoric on partisanship in Nashville:

Further, Ruppe faults Yager for being an “extreme partisan,” while depicting herself as bipartisan. Some fellow Democrats are annoyed to learn that she has voted in Republican primaries, Ruppe says.

She professes some annoyance of her own over “all this hoopla” over partisan control of the state Senate, which now has 16 Republicans, 16 Democrats and one Independent.

The outcome of the 12th District Senate contest between Ruppe and Yager could well decide which party controls the Senate next year. The district covers Campbell, Fentress, Morgan, Rhea, Roane and Scott counties and is represented by Sen. Tommy Kilby, D-Wartburg, who did not seek re-election.

“I have the ability to go to Nashville and sit down with people, no matter what party they’re in, and make things happen for our district,” she says.
