Today, Senator Marsha Blackburn formally announced her support for Amendment Two, which would amend Tennessee’s Constitution to prohibit a state property tax.

Speaking about Amendment Two, Blackburn said, “Tennesseans are well-served by a limited government that allows them to keep their hard-earned money. That’s why I led the fight against the state income tax, and why now, I’m joining the fight to ban a statewide property tax. This November, I hope you’ll join me in voting yes on Amendment Two to ensure that future generations don’t have to worry about the threat of a statewide property tax. Together, let’s keep Tennessee one of the lowest taxed states in the nation and make our state America’s conservative leader!”

In the State Senate, Blackburn took on leaders of her own party, including a Republican governor, to stop the state income tax in Tennessee. In November 2014, voters approved a constitutional amendment to prohibit the General Assembly from imposing an income tax, paving the way for the economic prosperity Tennessee enjoys today.
