With all my travels along the backroads and the old highways, I've seen barns for Rock City and other tourist attractions, restaurants, tobacco, and stores. However, as of Feb. 2013, this is the only barn I've ever seen to advertise a politician. In 2002, the US Congressman from District 4 was Republican Van Hiileary and he announced his candidacy for governor. Janice Bowling won the Republican primary but lost the general election to Lincoln Davis. However, the advertisement didn't have to be painted over as she challenged Davis again in 2004, but was still defeated. I first saw this barn (but didn't photograph it) in 2007 when the barn said she was running for U.S. Congress. In 2012, she made another run for office, this time State Senate District 16 had no incumbent and she won the general election. If she chooses to seek reelection, the barn could remain relevant for several more years. The barn is seen along highway TN30 on the west side of Spencer in Van Buren County within a mile from where it begins the ascent up to the plateau. On the barn door is also a logo for Miller Farms, which I assume owns the barn and the land.
