KZIM: Tommy Sowers goes on a 100-mile walk this weekend
May 26, 2010
8th Congressional district candidate Tommy Sowers will lace up his tennis shoes and walk from Jackson to Kennett this holiday weekend!
The 11-year army special forces veteran is running against Jo Ann Emerson as a democrat this fall. Sowers is marching the 100-mile Yard Sale along Highway-25 on foot in four phases about 25-miles per day starting Thursday.
Sowers tells KZIM KSIM this is a chance to respect the military and meet voters along the way! Sowers says we continue to lose manufacturing jobs in our district and it’s time for a change! Sowers served two tours of duty in Iraq. He will start his march at the Brookside Veteran’s Memorial Wall in Jackson and end at the Veteran’s Monument in Kennett Sunday.
