NASHVILLE – Former Arkansas governor and former presidential candidate Mike Huckabee has endorsed Tennessee Republican gubernatorial candidate Randy Boyd and is appearing in a new television ad promoting the Knoxville businessman.
The 30-second spot begins airing statewide today on broadcast and cable TV, Boyd’s campaign says.
The conservative politician, minister, author and commentator appears on screen, saying “Tennessee needs a conservative businessman as governor who can get things done.”
Former Pastor and Governor of Arkansas Mike Huckabee spoke at Abba’s House, in Hixson, on All American Day on July 2, 2017. As the ad shifts to slow-motion footage of Boyd walking through a warehouse talking with, presumably, an employee, Huckabee says “Randy Boyd has spent his life building a company from scratch. And like President Trump, he knows what it takes to disrupt government as usual.”
Huckabee goes on to say that Boyd, a former state economic and community development commissioner, opposes “sanctuary cities.” Describing Boyd as “pro-life,” Huckabee says Boyd “wants to make Tennessee the most adoption-friendly state in America. And Randy believes what really matters in our communities is faith, family and a good-paying job. Vote Randy Boyd for governor.”
