Thank you for recently contacting my office. The Fourth District is composed of 24 counties in Tennessee ranging in population from 70,000 to 5,000. My district is a rural area containing many farmers, working families, small businesses, and factories. In fact, I serve the fourth most rural district in the Congress. I am committed to representing the views of the Fourth District as accurately as possible. As such, I have been named one of the ten most independent Members of Congress as reported by the National Journal. As long as I serve in Congress I will continue to work for the priorities of my constituents. At the same time, I will consider each bill based on its merits. I will not oppose legislation simply because it is supported by the President, nor will I support legislation simply because that is the position of the House Democratic Leadership. What I will do is something that has become rare in the modern age of our democratic republic; I will represent the will of my constituents. I think if more Members of Congress did this we would have less partisanship and more legislation that plays to the true base of all politics?”the American people. I appreciate your comments and the time you took to reach me. As we continue to move through the 111th Congress, I will be sure to keep your views in mind.
Sincerely,
Lincoln Davis
Member of Congress

I recently got arrested because I had 3.8 ounces of marijuana. Other than using marijuana, I was a law abiding citizen. I am only 18 years old and still feel like a kid. I have never even been in a real fist fight or fired a gun. I had a tough life and marijuana helped ease my mental state. However, I could become a convicted felon and have a lot of trouble for the rest of my life. I’m not saying what I did was right, however, I don’t think that I should be considered just as bad as a rapist or a murderer. Please respond if you have the time and if not, please work toward making marijuana legal in tennessee so we can all look at the real criminals who are doing real crime.
