“When the visionaries of our great nation signed the Constitution, they cemented the American ideals they fought and bled for as the very foundation of the nation we are today. That sacred document laid the groundwork for something the world had never seen: a government built not to rule over its people, but to protect their inherent rights and God-given freedoms.
“As President Donald Trump works to restore the constitutional balance of power and return authority to the states, we need principled, freedom-fighting governors who respect the Constitution, uphold the rule of law, and ensure their states remain true to the values on which our nation was founded.
“Here in Tennessee, no one is better equipped to answer that call than Marsha Blackburn.
“She has the vision to make Tennessee a national leader when it comes to protecting freedom, limiting government, and elevating individual liberties. That vision rests on one simple truth: Constitutional rights don’t require a permission slip.
“Our government exists to secure the “blessings of liberty” for ourselves and our families, and that liberty must be broad and enduring. Our nation thrives when its people are free to live, work, and pursue their dreams, and that is the philosophy that will guide Marsha Blackburn as governor.”
