Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) launched her campaign for Tennessee governor a year before the Republican primary.
Blackburn aligned herself with President Donald Trump, who won all Tennessee counties except three, and promised to stick with conservative principles.
Trump is back. America is blessed, and Tennessee better than ever. I’m Marsha Blackburn here in the Volunteer State, we always lead the way, and that’s why I am announcing my candidacy for governor.Tennessee is the greatest place in the world to rear a family, make a life and a living and together, we can make our great state even better.We’ll make Tennessee America’s number one job, creating energy, producing powerhouse, deliver a world class education for our children by empowering parents, not the deep state. And whether it takes planes, trains, or starships, we’ll deport illegal aliens because respect for the law starts with enforcing it.This is Tennessee.We’ll honor the Constitution, we’ll value life, and we’ll define our boys and girls the way God made them.I love Tennessee. I believe in Tennesseans, and I’m ready to deliver the kind of conservative leadership that will ensure our state is America’s conservative leader for this generation and the next.I’m Marsha Blackburn. I’m running for governor, and I would be honored to have your support.
Rep. John Rose is Blackburn’s only opponent. The Nashville Banner doubts more will jump into the race due to Rose and Blackburn’s “name recognition and spending power.
I wonder who Trump will endorse. He has endorsed Rose and Blackburn in the past.
It’s been a rumor for months that Blackburn would run for governor.
A poll from Tony Fabrizio, Trump’s longtime pollster, found that Blackburn had an 82% approval rate among GOP primary voters.
