“Tennessee is one of the best places in America to live, work, and raise a family. It’s because of our growing economy and our conservative values. And our state’s momentum is only growing.
“But we still have work to do to make our state the fastest-growing state in America and the conservative leader.
“Across the country, we have seen the same narrative play out repeatedly: radical socialists gain power and put into place out-of-touch policies that undermine our values and make the lives of working-class families more difficult. It’s happened in California, Minnesota, and New York. All places that were once beacons of the American dream are now barely flickering lights of socialist policy failure that makes everyone poorer.
“The threat of socialism right here in Tennessee is real, but together, we can stop it.
“This fall, we have the opportunity to elect conservative leadership up and down the ballot, hold the Republican majority in the state legislature, keep the governor’s office red, and send a historic nine congressmen to D.C., ready to fight alongside President Trump to put America first.
“We cannot waste this chance, and by voting, you can make sure we don’t. It will take every one of us who believes in conservative values, freedom, prosperity, and safety to show up and stop the radical Left from taking over our state.”
