Brentwood, TN – Former Congressman Phil Roe today endorsed Marsha Blackburn for Governor.
In a video posted to X, Congressman Phil Roe said: “It is with great honor that I am able to endorse Marsha Blackburn for our next governor of Tennessee. We served for 10 years together in the U.S. Congress, and I saw what Marsha Blackburn did and what she was able to do. And let me tell you the most important thing: over 20 years ago, two decades ago, she stood steadfast against a state income tax, and our state is so much better for it. I know what she will do when the pressure is on her. She’ll uphold her conservative values, and I am so proud, Marsha, to endorse you as our next governor.”
“Phil is a strong conservative leader who has devoted his life to serving our country. It was a pleasure to work with him to do what was best for Tennessee,” said Marsha Blackburn. “I am honored to receive his support and am ready to work to make Tennessee the best state for families and for our veterans.”
In June, Blackburn also received endorsements from Congressman Matt Van Epps, State Senator John Stevens, State Representative Greg Martin, State Representative Gino Bulso, State Senator Shane Reeves, Haywood County Sheriff Billy Garrett Jr., Sunbright Mayor Karen Melton, Oliver Springs Mayor Jason Stiltner, and Roane County Executive Wade Creswell.
Phil Roe served as the Representative for Tennessee’s First Congressional District from 2009 to 2021.
