Harshbarger meets with constituents

SEYMOUR — Rep. Diana Harshbarger made a stop in Seymour on Friday morning to meet with some of her supporters and discuss issues facing the country.

Harshbarger represents District 1 in Congress, which includes parts of Sevier and Jefferson counties, and all of Carter, Cocke, Greene, Hamblen, Hancock, Hawkins, Johnson, Sullivan, Unicoi and Washington counties.

“I call constituents ‘friends and family,’ that’s how I look at it. I want them to know exactly what’s going on in our country. I want them to know I’m available, I’m approachable, and I am here for ‘We the People,’ because I am one of them,” Harshbarger said. “You build relationships; that’s how you’re successful in business, and that’s how you’ll be a successful Congresswoman.”
