Aug. 6 (UPI) -- Sen. Marsha Blackburn officially announced her candidacy for governor of Tennessee on X Wednesday.
Blackburn, R-Tenn., said she plans to make Tennessee "America's conservative leader for this generation and the next."
"Trump is back, America is blessed and Tennessee - better than ever. Here in the Volunteer State, we always lead the way. And that's why I am announcing my candidacy for governor," Blackburn said in a video on X.
Blackburn was in the House of Representatives from 2003 to 2019, when she won the Senate seat despite Taylor Swift's endorsement of her opponent. She was the first woman to represent Tennessee in the Senate and won re-election for a second term in November.
