TNGOP Executive Director: Kurita’s Election Stolen By “Union Thugs”

From Jamie Dexter:

Randy Stamps, executive director of the Tennessee Republican State Committee, said he feels good about Republicans’ chances throughout the state.

Of the two candidates for the 22nd seat of the state Senate, he asked that Republicans support Sen. Rosalind Kurita, adding that her election was stolen by “union thugs.”

“We need to try and send Rosalind Kurita back to Nashville,” Stamps said to a large round of applause.

Kurita is running as a write-in candidate against local attorney Tim Barnes after her August Democratic primary victory over him was vacated by the state’s Democratic Party. Local Democratic executives gave Barnes the nomination.
