Chrisley seeks Democratic nomination in 7th District

Contained in Barbara Chrisley's campaign announcement:

She said the GOP pushes for lower taxes but also increased services. "That does not quite add up. The promise of a thriving economy will not take care of unfunded mandates from Washington."
