About Us

Tennessee Conservatives Fund is a political action committee founded and run by Tea Party and 9.12 leaders throughout Tennessee.  After watching good conservatives with grassroots support lose to better funded career politicians in 2010 primaries and general elections, we decided it was time to pool our financial and volunteer resources and focus them on a select number of races where the best opportunity exists to replace a liberal incumbent with a constitutional conservative.

TCF is dedicated to building awareness, momentum, and financial support around a select number of Tennessee state-level candidates who are among the most Constitution-minded and conservative, who are opposing liberal incumbents, and who have broad support from Tea Parties, 912, and other liberty organizations.

Our ultimate goal is to maximize liberty, economic prosperity, and our Constitutional form of government through conservative policies.  The election of a single principled conservative man or woman can have profound effects as that individual grows into a champion for liberty.

Chairman Susan Lynn
Tennessee Conservatives Fund is chaired by State Representative Susan Lynn.  Lynn served four terms in the Tennessee General Assembly, where she authored and passed a State Sovereignty Resolution, which led to communication among the States about sovereignty issues.  That effort has resulted in legislation such as the Health Care Freedom Act, anti Cap & Trade Bill, and the Constitutional Amendment on Free Enterprise, all of which have been introduced in state legislatures all over the country.

Executive Director Eric Stamper
Our Executive Director is Dr. Eric Stamper, a Hendersonville optometrist and native Tennessean.  Dr. stamper is a leader within the state’s Tea Party and liberty movement and a vocal defender of the Constitution.  He co-founded Sumner United for Responsible Government in 2009 where he now serves as Communications Director, coordinated an alliance of more than 20 Tea Parties to endorse a primary candidate in the Tennessee gubernatorial race in 2010 and has published numerous newspaper columns on the Constitution and Tenth Amendment.

The Tennessee Conservatives Fund is loosely modeled after Jim DeMint’s highly effective Senate Conservatives Fund.  We enjoy support and input from liberty groups and leaders throughout the state, including Tennessee ConserVOLiance, The Memphis TEA Party, Tennessee 9.12, Gibson County Patriots, Tri-Cities Tea Party and many others.

Paid for by Tennessee Conservatives Fund PAC. Not authorized by any candidate or candidate’s committee. Eric Stamper, Treasurer.
