“I am deeply honored by the support shown for our campaign by the elected officials of District 1,” said Jon Stevenson. “I promise to serve the people of District 1 with the same sense of integrity and dedication as these conservative leaders. Together, we will bring real, tangible results back to Tate and DeSoto counties.”
