Republican Marsha Blackburn Wins Election for Governor in Tennessee
Little defeated Democrat Terri Pickens and several challengers as Republicans held statewide offices and the Associated Press called the race late Tuesday night.
- Republican U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn won Tennessee's gubernatorial election on Wednesday, defeating Democrat Jerri Green, though she claimed victory before official results were fully tabulated.
- At 74 years old, Blackburn becomes Tennessee's first female governor and oldest officeholder, succeeding Governor Bill Lee, whose term ends January 16.
- Drawing 9.3% of the vote, independent candidate David Hatley significantly overperformed typical third-party candidates while Blackburn secured 45.52% of the total vote.
- Before her January 16 inauguration, the governor-elect must resign from the U.S. Senate, retaining authority to appoint her own interim successor in Washington.
- Blackburn campaigned on a 'Tennessee First' agenda, promising to implement a 'government-lessening plan' to reduce the state budget after succeeding Lee.
