This weekend the TN Republican State Executive Committee removed 7 candidates from the U.S. Senate Republican ballot and 1 candidate from the TN Governor Republican ballot. Who were they and who does that leave?

The ones removed from the Senate race were David Anderson of Chattanooga, Lamar Coker of Clarksville, Larry Crim from Antioch, Tommy N. Hay of Monterey, Terri Honeycutt of Woodlawn, J. Darrell Lynn of Franklin and Dr. Rolando Toyos of Brentwood.

That leaves Marsha Blackburn of Brentwood, Mr. Jim Elkins of Chattanooga and Aaron L. Pettigrew of Murfreesboro

I sent emails to Crim and Toyos seeking comment on the committees action. Toyos is having a press conference tomorrow Monday April 9, 2018 at 10 am Central Time.

Eddie Murphy of Franklin was removed from the Republican Governor ballot. That leaves Diane Black of Gallatin, Randy Boyd of Knoxville, Beth Harwell of Nashville, Bill Lee of Franklin, Basil Marceau, Sr. of Soddy Daisy and Kay White of Johnson City.
