MT. JULIET, Tenn. - Mae Beavers, Republican State Senator for Mt. Juliet, has intended to formally announce a campaign for Governor of Tennessee in June.

The event will be held at 1 p.m. on June 3 at Charlie Daniels Park in Mt. Juliet.

Further details have been expected to be released in the coming days.

“Over the past several weeks, it has become increasingly clear that conservatives in Tennessee are looking for bold leadership that will not shrink from standing up and speaking up on the key issues facing our state,” Beavers said. “President Donald J. Trump is taking the lead in Washington to “drain the swamp” there; but we have our own swamp in Tennessee and I intend to do the same thing in the Volunteer State.”

Senator Beavers has also pinpointed her main priority.

“The terrorist threat from radical Islam not only impacts other countries or major cities in our own country — that threat is also targeted at our communities and our families in Tennessee and I intend to make security a centerpiece of my campaign,” Beavers said.

The senator also said she would focus on family values, protecting children before they’re born, providing children a safe environment after they’re born, and making sure “Tennessee taxpayers will get the biggest bang possible for their tax dollars.” That last point she said included making a full effort to repeal the gas tax increase Governor Haslam just signed into law.
Senator Beavers has represented the 17th Senatorial District. She was the Chair of the Tennessee Republican Delegation to the Republican National Convention in Cleveland, Ohio in 2016.

This is great news. I look forward to voting for her. Doesn't she introduce some of the most pro-gun bills in the state each year?

At least I'll have a candidate I can vote for without having to hold my nose. That's a rare thing in Tennessee.

I know Mae and her husband. They are not like most pro-gun lip-service politicians.  They both own firearms, and not just "a .22 and a .38".  Tennessee would have a difficult time doing better.
