Dr. Arthur Laffer, former member of President Ronald Reagan’s Economic Policy Advisory Board, economic advisor to President Donald Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign, and world-renowned economist, today endorsed Marsha Blackburn for Governor. Laffer previously endorsed Blackburn in her successful 2018 U.S. Senate campaign.

Speaking about the endorsement, Laffer said: “It is my honor to support my friend, Marsha Blackburn, to be the next Governor of Tennessee. Throughout her career, she has consistently fought for lower taxes and pro-growth policies that have made Tennessee one of the nation’s strongest economies. Marsha has the proven leadership and determination to keep fighting for what works. That’s exactly what Tennessee needs.”

“Art Laffer has contributed unmatched knowledge of politics and economics in service to the American people since Ronald Reagan’s presidency, and he is a true friend who provides wise counsel,” said Marsha Blackburn. “I am grateful for his support as we work to ensure Tennessee is America’s conservative leader and remains the lowest tax state in the nation.

In a recent interview with Marsha Blackburn, conservative Robby Starbuck endorsed Marsha Blackburn for Governor.

In the interview, Starbuck said: “I want to endorse you. I think you’re going to be a great governor for the state of Tennessee. It’s a state I love immensely. This is where we’ve raised our kids, and I think Tennessee needs leadership that is even more conservative than we have had in the past that is going to have their eye on these issues. I think you’re going to do a great job.”

“I appreciate it so much and am grateful for your endorsement and your support,” said Marsha Blackburn. “You are exactly right; killing that state income tax taught Tennesseans a lot about ourselves. We have the grit and determination to make things happen, and I think it also changed the direction and trajectory of our state. We are an economic powerhouse. We are the best place to live, to work, and to rear your children. And we will be the best place for jobs for your kids and your grandkids to come home to.”

Robby Starbuck’s endorsement adds to Marsha’s growing list of high-profile endorsements, following recent endorsements by Dr. Arthur Laffer,  Senator Bill Hagerty, and Dave Ramsey. Marsha has also been endorsed by AFC Victory Fund, Tennessee Fraternal Order of Police, NRA, Congressman Matt Van Epps, Congressman Chuck Fleischmann, Congressman Tim Burchett,  Honor our Veterans, Tennessee Chamber of Commerce & Industry, the Tennessee Professional Fire Fighters Association, and the Shelby County Deputy Sheriffs’ Association
