Rep. Tim Burchett Announces U.S. Senate Candidacy for Tennessee

EXCERPT:

BURCHETT: “Well, I'm double digits above any of them in polling. I raised a million dollars last quarter, which is unheard of for Tim Burchett, and I've got a statewide network. I think I could win statewide. And also, I'm very pleased that Marsha Blackburn, who is historically the first female governor of the state of Tennessee, which I find very cool since I've got a 19-year-old daughter, she said that she's not going to allow Washington to decide that. So, you know, I've got a good shot at it. I think it's totally up to her. I prayed about it. I would absolutely take on that role.”
