Tennessee Must Show America How to Stand Up to Communist China
Breitbart
Senator Marsha Blackburn
July 9, 2026
“Tennessee’s agricultural heritage is part of the foundation of our state, and indeed, farmers remain the backbone of Tennessee’s economy. It is my solemn promise that as Tennessee’s next governor, I will continue supporting the values and traditions that have made our agricultural communities strong for generations. That means standing up to outside international actors like the Chinese Communist Party and preventing them from purchasing our farmland.
“One American farmer feeds roughly 165 people. That abundance and productivity allow us to maintain a safe, affordable, and abundant food supply in this country. And of those American farmers, Tennessee farmers and ranchers produce some of the safest and highest-quality food products in the world. Every day, our farmers work hard to keep food on our tables and our economy moving forward. Tennessee farmers help ensure America’s food security, which is critical to our national security. Of course, China wants to undermine both. That is why we can never allow them a foothold in Tennessee.”
