NASHVILLE - Former Republican U.S. Rep. Stephen Fincher is entering next year's U.S. Senate race in Tennessee, a move that pits him against a former GOP congressional colleague in the contest to replace retiring Sen. Bob Corker.
Fincher, a seventh-generation cotton farmer from tiny Frog Jump in West Tennessee - who bypassed college to continue the family business - announced his bid in an interview with the USA Today Network - Tennessee.
Fincher, who represented Tennessee's 8th Congressional District from 2011 to 2017, cast himself as a "citizen legislator" - not a "career politician" - who sings in a family gospel group each weekend and understands everyday Tennesseans.
