We are honored to welcome Rep. Jason Zachary, State Representative for TN's 14th District, as our guest speaker for The Legacy Centre Speaker Series on Friday, April 8. Local Americomm business owner, Jason Zachary, recently joined the 109th General Assembly of the state legislature after a five-year testing of his faith, purpose, and family. Through that journey of calling and conviction, the Lord has taught him many lessons that have enlightened the path and given him a clear vision for the people he serves.

A true servant leader, businessman, and self-proclaimed Reagan conservative, Zachary brings a business minded approach and 18 years of private sector experience to the job. He is a breath of fresh air to what has become all too familiar in politics. Jason represents the next generation of leaders, passionate about returning our country to a government by the people and for the people, which is desperately needed to preserve a prosperous future for our great state and country.

Jason's road from business to politics has been marked by calling and conviction. Surrender is not easy but required of every entrepreneur, business owner, parent, spouse, child [of God]...who steps out on faith. If you have been called, the journey will expect your conviction. The Lord will be faithful to bring you through it.

Join us on April 8th! Jason will talk about his journey, lessons learned, his vision and heart to serve our state, his take on the presidential election and current events, and how we can take a stand as local citizens and make a difference for the next generation.

Zachary said,

“I believe if someone is called to run for office, they must be courageous enough to stand on principle. I am an unapologetic conservative, and I stand as a follower of Christ. I believe with all my heart that the family is the cornerstone of our nation, and we must work to strengthen traditional family values as they are essential to the future of our country.”

As a small business owner in a company founded by his father 24 years ago, Jason also brings a business minded approach and almost two decades of private sector experience to his job in the state legislature.
