Will Senate District 21 Allow Lobbyists To Buy Our Vote?

Dear friends,

This Election year is crucial for so many reasons, and we are so close to ensuring Senate District 21's voice is heard at the Capitol.

We have an incredibly important choice to make at the polls. Are we going to have a voice, or will we allow lobbyists and special interest groups to run our community?

My opponent, Jeff Yarbro, works for one of the largest law firms in Nashville with an incredibly active lobbying arm. When asked at a debate if he would quit his job if elected, he simply danced around the question and eventually said he would not quit.

If it isn't a direct conflict of interest to have a State Senator working at one of the city's largest law and lobbying firms, then I don't know what is. I'm asking you to help me stop it.


Together, I know that we can ensure our community has a voice at the Capitol. Deep pocketed special interest groups are trying to buy your vote, and I pray that they do not succeed.

Our campaign has received an incredible amount of support from so many great Nashvillians. Former Tennessee Governor Winfield Dunn has endorsed our campaign, and so has Vanderbilt University's Dr. Carol Swain.

Your small donation today will help secure the future of our District. With your support, we can pull off a win for our community!


Remember, early voting ends October 30th and Election Day is November 4th. If you're not sure where you need to vote, please click HERE.

Thank you so much for your time and support.
Diana Cuellar

My Comment: Come on. Give again or if you have not given, do it now.  Diane has worked really hard and she would make a great Senator. Rod

Another reason for attending this event in addition to supporting two great candidates is that the venue is an experience in itself.  I recently had to opportunity to attend an event at this place, and the grounds and the house make you feel like you are a guest at a European villa. The mansion is an experience.

Diana Cuellar's responce to the Family Action Council of Tennessee survey

Diana Cuellar

The Family Action Council of Tennessee produces a good campaign guide for those concerned with religious liberty, family values, and pro-life issues.  Each candidate running for a contested seat for state house or senate for the August 7th primary are offered the opportunity to answerer a list of questions stating their position on the issues, answer five essay questions and submit a video greeting to be posted on the FACT website. In the Senate District 21 race, of the two Democrats and three Republicans competing for their party's nomination for that seat, only Diana Cuellar (R) responded to the survey. 

I can understand the two Democrats not responding to the survey. Both are pro-choice and pro-gay agenda and I doubt few who see the FACT information will be voting in the Democrat Primary anyway. I do not understand why the other two Republicans competing for the Republican nomination did not complete the survey.

Cuellar answers she would oppose legislation that would recognize civil unions, she would support legislation that would prohibit abortions except in the case of when necessary to save the life of the mother, would support repeal of the Hall Income Tax,  would oppose laws that would make "sexual orientation" or "gender expression" a protected class, and would oppose laws that prohibited non-married people from jointly adopting children in state custody. To see the complete Senate District 21 survey follow this link.
