Congressman Diane Black
Black gave a statement concerning her run for governor, "The number one job for our next Governor will simply be to fight for what's right. For some in politics, that's a lot harder than it sounds. Some are too weak to stand up for what is right. But I have never backed down, even when I had to stand up to the weak-kneed people in my own party, and I never will.
It's easy to talk. It's something else entirely to put up a fight. But fighting for what's right for the people of Tennessee is what I do."
