The Young Republican National Federation’s effort to “Target Tennessee” for the weekend of October 27-29 was a tremendous success! Young Republicans from many states plus a few Tennessee YRs (about 30 volunteers) campaigned all Saturday in Murfreesboro, Tennessee for the following candidates:
- Bob Corker, U.S. Senate
- Jim Bryson, Governor
- State Senator Bill Ketron
- State Representative Donna Rowland (YR)
- State Representative candidates Oscar Gardner and Joe Carr
Young Republicans attended a pre-debate rally for Bob Corker and cheered him on hours before the debate started. Some YRs were able to attend the debate at Vanderbilt University, while most YRs watched the debate at a rally outside. On Sunday YRs campaigned with Bob Corker as he walked from tailgate party to tailgate party at the Tennessee Titans/Houston Texans game. Corker received enthusiastic support wherever he went, and having many YRs around him tremendously helped! Thanks to all Young Republicans who took a weekend of their valuable to help influence Tennessee elections!
