Welcome to the Tennessee Tech University College Democrats. Feel free to look around and explore our website. We are looking forward to an exciting year starting in the fall. Mark your calendars! The TTU College Democrats will be hosting a debate for the 42nd District's Democratic Primary for the House of Representatives. The candidates will be discussing the issues at 7pm in Derryberry Auditorium on July 11, three days before early voting begins. The candidates will be asked the most pressing questions as they pertain to the 42nd District. The event is free, but donations to the College Democrats would be greatly appreciated. Senate Elections 2006 As many now know, Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist will be vacating his Senate Seat. Democratic candidate, Harold Ford Jr., has entered the race to challenge the many Republicans in the race for the open Senate seat. U.S. Representative Harold Ford, Jr. has represented the 9th Congressional District for almost ten years. As one of the youngest members in Congress, Ford brings a moderate approach and is able to reach across party lines to get important legislation past. Ford has supported the Make College Affordable Act, legislation that would enable everyone the opportunity to attend college. He is working to make savings for young people available by starting nest eggs for young people. Ford will work to bring the jobs of tomorrow here to Tennessee. |
