Mike Winton, native son to the great state of Tennessee and its heart of the 4th district Grundy County. Son, Husband, Father, Papa and soon to be Great Grandfather. I feel if I need to tell you I'm a christian, I'm probably not doing a very good job portraying it. 30 plus years as a business founder and owner. 15 years involvement in real estate investment and an licensed affiliate broker. Just a plain spoken Man with a desire to serve as a statesman for We The People
- 18 percent approval rating by third party poll is not acceptable
- over 30 trillion dollars of Debt and growing every day will continue to destroy our country
- Illegal immigration at our borders without being enforced and or eradicated will continue to weaken our immigration process to a point dismay.
1. Our National Debt
2. Our support to Israel
3. Illegal Immigration
4. Partisan Politics
Billy Graham has always been an inspiration to me. My grandfathers were both fine gentlemen not only at home but respected within the community.
God and Politics, Arthur Roy Herron
The word Statesman comes to mind. One definition is A wise, skillful and respected political leader
I have a desire to serve, the ability to listen and the willingness to agree to disagree
To Serve We The People
Mike Winton Always said and lived that "Its never wrong to do the right thing"
The assassination of our nations president John Kennedy at 9 years old
First job off the my grandparents farm I worked as a gas station attendant at the local Stuckeys in Pelham where I grew up. 2 years
Bible. I believe it to be the inspired word of God
There Was Jesus
I am a workaholic and try to do too much on my own
Possessing and displaying with only an 18 percent approval rating may be a better questioned here. It possesses the ability to do good, protect the innocent and create justice for all mankind but with party politics, greed and power it has lost sight of its true purpose
As a new candidate never serving I guess I better say No
a cohesiveness of society for fellowman to work together for the greater good
Transportation, Agriculture and Labor
I support term limits I would ask voters to only allowing myself to serve 5 terms
No I don't think so. I imagine we all have failed or will fail at some point.
I have heard stories of families being affected by first prescription drugs then leading to worse additions. Families suffering from mental health and not the necessary support to help them. It is isn't seclude to status it attacks both rich and poor. Just recently the family of Naomi Judd had revealed her unfortunate death.
I had a cousin back in the day and his parents named him Odd Winton. Of course he hated the name, he was joked about in school growing up, Odd hated it so bad he refused to allow his wife or children to call him by his name. When Odd died he had directed his wife not to put his name on the tombstone. So today when anyone visits the graveyard and they see his marker missing his first name they reply "That's Odd Isn't It"
As any married couple, parent, church member or neighbor compromise may be our strongest ally.
Our National Debt is completely out of control. Oversight of budgets will be a priority for me
