FORMER SEN. MAJORITY LEADER BILL FRIST ENDORSES REP. BLACKBURN
Former U.S. Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, M.D., today announced his endorsement of Congressman Marsha Blackburn for re-election to Congress in Tennessee ’s 7th District, citing her leadership and conservative record.
“Congressman Blackburn has provided strong leadership for the 7th District. She works tirelessly on behalf of her constituents, always demonstrating a deep devotion to conservative values,” Frist said.
“Having worked closely with her to represent our state, I know she carries tremendous experience and the respect of her colleagues. I’ve supported her for many years and look forward to doing so again.”
A two-term U.S. senator twice unanimously elected Majority Leader by his colleagues, Sen. Frist has served the people of Tennessee with integrity and excellence.
“I’m honored to have the support and confidence of Senator Frist,” Blackburn said.
“He is a true conservative who knows first hand what it takes to stand up for Tennessee values in Congress. I look forward to continuing that fight to lower taxes, eliminate government waste, ensure a strong national defense, and strengthen family values.”
