I’m running to serve as Tennessee’s next governor to ensure Tennessee is America’s conservative leader,” shared Marsha Blackburn in the press release
“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, and I would be honored to have your support,” she added.
