Nashville, TN – Steve Dickerson announced today he will seek the Republican nomination for state Senate in the 20th District.

“As we enter the new year our state and nation face economic uncertainty, high unemployment, and an increasing sense of distrust of government. I have made the decision to enter this race for state Senate to confront these challenges head on.”

“With my background as a practicing physician, as well as my experience as a small business owner I have a unique perspective to bring to the state Senate and I will use that to best represent the values of the 20th district.” Dickerson said.

Steve Dickerson, a long-time resident of Nashville, is a founding partner of Anesthesia Services Associates, which has multiple practice locations through-out Tennessee. He has been married for 19 years to wife Katrina and they have three sons.

Dickerson continued by saying, “I want to work with the governor, lieutenant governor, and members of the state Senate to make sure our state government runs efficiently and effectively. One of my principle beliefs it that the government that is closest to the people is the one that governs best. As a state Senator I will follow that principle.”
