(NASHVILLE) — The American Conservative Union (ACU), the nation’s oldest and largest grassroots conservative organization, this week announced that State Representative Jimmy Eldridge (R–Jackson) is among those legislators recently honored with the Conservative Union’s prestigious ‘Award for Conservative Achievement.’
The award is only presented to those members of the Tennessee General Assembly who scored at least 80% on the ACU Tennessee 2016 State Legislative Rating and who most consistently vote with the ideals and values outlined in the Tennessee and U.S. Constitution.
“I am honored to be presented this award by the American Conservative Union,” said Representative Eldridge. “I am committed to working with my colleagues in the Tennessee General Assembly to lower taxes, cut government waste, and help create an environment in our state where businesses can grow and thrive. I am thankful for organizations like the ACU who recognize the work of our conservative Republican majority and look forward to advancing our shared Tennessee values even further during this year’s legislative session.”
