David McIntosh Op-Ed in The Tennessean
From The Tennessean:
“Club for Growth President David McIntosh, whose associated School Freedom Fund PAC spent $3.6 million in August seeking to flip five legislative seats pro-voucher, recently wrote an opinion column openly threatening to primary GOP lawmakers who oppose vouchers: ‘Republicans who vote against TN Education Freedom Act will be primaried and lose.’ Americans for Prosperity lobbyist Michael Lotfi thanked McIntosh in a social media post.”
From AP:
“Outside groups have weighed in heavily, spending money to try to secure lawmakers’ votes on the closely split issue. The president of the conservative Club for Growth, which is running pro-voucher TV ads, warned lawmakers who won’t support the legislation — ‘expect to lose an expensive primary funded by Club for Growth Action,’ David McIntosh wrote in a guest column Sunday in The Tennessean.
