Debra Maggart Asks Doctors To Open Their Wallets

Because her opponent is coming after their livelihood. In a targeted fundraising letter, the Representative notes her adversary’s occupation as a trial attorney and warns members of the medical profession that they could be in danger:

How can you help me defeat this trial lawyer who seeks to do your industry harm by preying on patients and their families for his own personal gain? I am doing what I can in the legislature, but I need your help to defeat him. I am asking you ~ as a doctor ~ to send a $1,000 donation, if at all possible. We cannot accept donations from corporation but we can accept your personal or LLC check.

The Sumner County Democratic Party is not pleased.

UPDATE: Reaction from candidate Andy Allman:

“While saddened that my opponent sees fit to engage in this lowest form of campaigning, I do take some comfort in knowing that my campaign for positive change in Sumner County is working. Why else would my family and I be subject to attacks such as this unless my opponent was worried about losing?”
