Secretary of State Tre Hargett released the list of Republican candidates that will be on the ballot in Tennessee’s March 6th Presidential Preference Primary. The candidates that will be included are Michele Bachmann, Newt Gingrich, Jon Huntsman, Gary Johnson, Ron Paul, Rick Perry, Charles “Buddy” Roemer, Mitt Romney, and Rick Santorum.
“All of these candidates are running on a platform of creating an economy that fosters job growth, simplifying our overly complicated tax code, and fixing our government’s spending and debt problem,” said Tennessee Republican Party Chairman Chris Devaney.
“These are the things Americans want to hear from their President, but are not. Instead they get President Obama’s failed stimulus spending policies, bailouts for failing businesses, and no leadership on our country’s debt problem.
“Tennessee Republicans will have some great candidates to choose from in March, and while it may be a difficult decision for some, Republicans can confidently say any of our potential nominees will be far better than the current occupant of the White House.”
The Tennessee Republican Presidential Preference Primary will be held on Tuesday, March 6th 2012. Commonly referred to as “Super Tuesday,” Tennessee will share its primary election day with Alaska, Georgia, Idaho, Massachusetts, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, Vermont, and Virginia.
