Tennesseans have two very strong Democratic Primary contenders for governor.
The state also has four solid Republican Primary contenders.
In the perfect world, Tennessee’s General Election voters in November will go to the polls to choose between Democrat Craig Fitzhugh and Republican Beth Harwell for governor.
We say it would be the perfect choice because either Fitzhugh or Harwell would make effective governors – governors in whom we believe Tennesseans could take pride.
Fitzhugh, our favorite, is a 68-year-old, Ripley, Tenn., lawyer turned banker who has represented House District 82 in West Tennessee for the past 24 years and is House minority leader.
