U.S. Rep. Chuck Fleischmann on Thursday said he can't figure out why dairy magnate Scottie Mayfield is challenging him in the Republican primary in Tennessee's 3rd Congressional District.
"I'm already practicing what he's preaching," Fleischmann said.
In the first two months of his campaign, Mayfield has emphasized his business experience and downplayed politics, but had little to say about his views. At one point, he responded "Not really" to a question about whether he disagreed with any of Fleischmann's votes.
On Thursday, Fleischmann reinforced the similarities, a mere 24 hours after the Mayfield campaign promoted the fresh addition of several political positions on its campaign website, whose only previous clue to Mayfield's platform said, "Republican for Congress."
