Tennessee voters should demand that all Republican nominees for governor agree to 3 debates - in the west, middle and east.

Important to note: Speaker @CSexton25 has not made an endorsement in the 2026 governor's race. He has signed ballot petitions for both @VoteMarsha and @JohnRoseforTN, per his office. Here's what he had to say about the race last month @tennessean: tennessean.com/story/news/po…
Extremely honored to have Speaker of the House @CSexton25 sign our petition to serve as the next Governor of Tennessee! I look forward to continuing our work together to make Tennessee America’s conservative leader!

I am asking Senator @MarshaBlackburn to reconsider. Suing you, the taxpayer, for the politically-driven (and wrong) actions of the Biden DOJ doesn't fix anything. It only makes U.S. Senators richer. That's why I've filed a bill to immediately undo this money grab that somehow snuck into the Senate version of the funding bill. wbir.com/article/sports/lock…

.@KurtWinstead has a track-record of being a proven leader in the military, his state, & his community. I need reinforcements in Washington to hold Joe Biden accountable & get rid of Nancy Pelosi for good. Kurt is the strong conservative Republican we need to make that happen.

If I’ve learned one thing after spending the past couple of days at the border, it’s that the #BidenBorderCrisis is far worse in person than imaginable.

Today is National Fentanyl Awareness Day. The drugs pouring across our border are getting into the hands of our youth and it’s destroying lives. This is a national security issue. We must get control of our southern border! #BuildTheWall

(1/2) We cannot allow radicals to leak information in an attempt to bully the Court and wake up the woke mob. Leaking this document is an unacceptable breach of trust and does damage to the Supreme Court.

(2/2) There must be a full-scale investigation to find the person responsible. We need Constitutional conservative jurists to stand strong and stay the course!

Nashvillians will greatly benefit from having two additional congressmen, and one less Cooper representing them. #tnleg

As a physician and an American, my prayers are with @POTUS and @FLOTUS today. It is saddening to watch what the media is doing -- instead of getting behind and supporting our leader they’re spreading misinformation and hatred. Let’s put politics aside and support our President.

I was so honored to be in Lawrenceburg with Jeri Thompson, the wife of the late Sen. Fred Thompson in his hometown, and I am grateful for her support. Sen. Thompson was a strong conservative who represented our values. I will represent Tennessee as a true conservative like him.

"I am endorsing my friend Dr. Manny. As a believer, I know the importance of having faithful leaders representing us. He came to Christ as a young man, and has been serving the Lord as a trauma surgeon ever since. He’ll be a strong Christian leader in the Senate” -@michaelwsmith

When I was in Tennessee last week and saw Trump signs, I saw them in yards that also had signs for GOP Senate candidate Manny Sethi, even though @realDonaldTrump endorsed his primary opponent Hagerty. Not entirely surprising since Sens. Cruz and Paul have endorsed @DrMannySenate.

As Senator @TedCruz said, "I can tell you, the Washington Swamp is freaking out right now. They are in absolute panic." The Establishment is scared. The machine knows we’re winning, and Tennesseans are hungry for a real conservative. #MannyvstheMachine
