I'm running because it is past time that Tennessee's 4th Congressional District be represented by someone who is a true conservative and who represents who we are in the Volunteer State.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I am running for re-election no matter who runs.
My federal, state, and local experience will allow me the opportunity to effectively represent the constituents of the Fourth District.
I think really that you shouldn't run as a conservative if you're not.
I'm very much engaged in the political battles, but I'm doing it as a supporter of Republicans out of conservatism rather than an active candidate.
I'm running for senator because it's time for a change.
I'm a conservative Republican. I have been since I was 15 years old and participated in the 'Goldwater for President' campaign in 1964.
I'm always running back and forth to the district.
I'm a Republican. I'm running in a Republican primary.
I am running for governor of Kentucky as the people's advocate.
I want to thank the people of Tennessee's Fourth Congressional District for once again putting their faith in my ability to serve them; I promise I will never take that trust for granted.
