Republican congressional candidate Dr. Christopher Peters visited Knoxville Saturday.

Dr. Peters is a veteran and a surgeon running against Representative Dave Loebsack this fall. Dr. Peters met with the public and answered questions about his candidacy at the Coffee Connection on Saturday. He emphasized reducing the national debt, consideration of term limits, encouraging the free market, putting an end to mass incarceration and says that big corporate subsidies and corporate bailouts are big problem. Dr. Peters believes that Congress should consider the appointment of Justice Garland to the Supreme Court and that if they don’t like him they should reject him as opposed to stalling. He also discussed getting the federal government out of public education and more decisions being made at the state level, by citizen legislators.
