The electionis Nov. 3, early voting just started.

The most important election is that for governor of Tennessee with four candidates.

We live in a fast-growing, beautiful state. However, the status quo has placed us near dead last in education, healthcare and crime, much of which we are finding is committed by local law enforcement.

Marsha Blackburn represents that status quo, believes people are taxed too much and plans to institute a state DOGE committee modeled after the federal Elon Musk-led DOGE that resulted in services being cut, tax breaks for the wealthy, promised but never issued $5,000 checks and a increase of $2.3 trillion to the deficit.

Can we afford Marsha Blackburn's status quo?
