美国田纳西州共和党参议员玛莎·布莱克本周四晚间在共和党初选中轻松获胜，这场初选是为了接替即将卸任的田纳西州州长比尔·李。
拿下提名后，布莱克本有望成为这座“志愿之州”的下一任州长——该州自2006年以来从未选出过民主党籍州长。
2019年起担任州长的李已任满两届，无法寻求连任。他上一次连任是以64.9%对32.9%的优势击败民主党挑战者、商人兼医生杰森·马丁。

值得注意的是，李并未在这场三方角逐的共和党初选中背书任何人，但他在布莱克本宣布参选时表示，两人关系密切。
“我和玛莎相识多年，她曾在国会和田纳西州议会担任我的代表。我很自豪我们州有这么优秀的人参选州长，”李对当地媒体说道。
布莱克本则承诺将继续聚焦共和党在华盛顿特区共和党纲领中的核心议题。
她将移民问题列为其中之一。
“作为州长，我将驱逐非法移民，阻止毒品和毒资流入。我们将打击贩毒集团，限制向毒品天堂转移现金，并直击罪犯和非法移民的痛处——从他们的钱包下手，”布莱克本在一段竞选视频中说道。
布莱克本还承诺阻止中国收购田纳西州土地，她在一段走红的广告中砸碎了一个幸运饼干，以此强调自己的这一承诺。
“不用靠幸运饼干也能想明白。在田纳西州，我们要阻止共产党中国，保护田纳西州的土地，”她说道。
前总统唐纳德·特朗普也未在这场竞选中背书，他表示自己与布莱克本的一位挑战者、田纳西州共和党众议员约翰·罗斯有交情。

罗斯是第八代农民，也是IT认证公司Transcender Corp.的百万富翁创始人，自2019年起在田纳西州议会任职。在州长竞选活动中，他将自己定位为本土候选人，专注于为当地问题寻找本地解决方案。
“我知道在田纳西州一切皆有可能，因为我亲身经历过。现在，我请求你们给我一个机会，为所有田纳西人带来机遇，”罗斯在一段竞选视频中说道。
在其个人网站上，罗斯重点介绍了五大核心议题，包括教育、基础设施、医疗保健、能源以及经济和社区发展。
第三位候选人、州众议员蒙蒂·弗里茨则以更激进的小政府纲领参选。
“我的首要任务是把更多钱留在你们的口袋、钱包和国家银行里，而不是送到纳什维尔，”弗里茨在一段竞选视频中说道。
在其个人网站上，弗里茨宣扬的立场包括缩减田纳西州预算规模、保护公民权利不受日益扩张的政府权力侵犯，以及增加家长在教育中的话语权。
弗里茨今年早些时候因竞选言论引发争议，他呼吁禁止清真寺和其他“异教宗教”。

“伊斯兰教与其他宗教略有不同，它不一定是一种宗教，而是一场政治运动，”弗里茨说道。“如果你不服从，就可能被处决。我认为伊斯兰教与美国和田纳西州宪法都格格不入，”弗里茨对当地媒体说道。

在初选中胜出后，布莱克本将在11月3日的全州大选中对阵民主党对手、孟菲斯市议员兼首席公设辩护人杰里·格林。

The GOP senator defeated Rep John Rose and State Rep Monty Fritts to secure the GOP nomination for 2026

U.S. Senator Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., cruised to victory in a GOP primary on Thursday evening in a race to replace outgoing Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee.
With the nomination in tow, Blackburn is likely to become the next governor in the Volunteer State — a state that hasn’t elected a Democrat to its top executive role since 2006.
Lee, who has served in the role since 2019, is term-limited and cannot seek re-election. He last won reelection in a 64.9% to 32.9% victory over Democratic challenger Jason Martin, a businessman and doctor.

Notably, Lee did not endorse anyone in the three-way Republican race for the 2026 nomination but noted that he had a close relationship with Blackburn when she announced her candidacy.
“I’ve been friends with Marsha for a long time, and she served as my congressman and representative in the General Assembly. I’m proud we have really good people running for governor in this state,” Lee told local outlets.
Blackburn, for her own part, promised to continue focusing on issues that Republicans have made centerpieces to the GOP platform in Washington, D.C.
She highlighted immigration as one such issue.
“As governor, I’ll deport illegals, stop the flow of drugs and drug money. We will crack down on Cartels, restrict cash transfers to drug havens and hit criminals and illegals where it hurts — in their wallets,” Blackburn said in a campaign video.
Blackburn also promised to prevent China from buying up Tennessee land, punctuating her commitment with a viral ad where she crushed a fortune cookie.
“It doesn’t take a fortune cookie to figure it out. Here in Tennessee we’re going to stop communist China and protect Tennessee land,” she remarked.
President Donald Trump also did not issue an endorsement in the race, saying that he had ties to one of Blackburn’s challengers: Rep. John Rose, R-Tenn.

Rose, an 8th-generation farmer and the millionaire founder of Transcender Corp., an IT certification company, has served in the Tennessee legislature since 2019. In his gubernatorial campaign, he pitched himself as a homegrown candidate focused on local solutions to local problems.
“I know that anything is achievable in Tennessee because I have lived it. Now, I’m asking for you to give me the chance to bring opportunity to all Tennesseans,” Rose said in a campaign video.
On his website, Rose highlighted five key areas of focus, including education, infrastructure, healthcare, energy and economic and community development.
A third candidate, State Rep. Monty Fritts, had run on a more aggressive, small-government platform.
“My number one priority is leaving more money in your pockets, in your purses and in your country bankrolls rather than sending it to Nashville,” Fritts said in a campaign video.
On his website, Fritts touted positions like shrinking the size of Tennessee’s budget, protecting citizen rights against encroaching government power and increasing parent input in education.
Fritts attracted controversy earlier this year when, as part of his campaign, he called for a ban on mosques and other “pagan religions.”

“Islam is a little different story than perhaps other religions are, in that it’s not necessarily a religion; it’s a political movement,” Fritts said. “It’s that movement that, if you don’t submit, perhaps you are executed. I feel that Islam is incongruent with both our U.S. and Tennessee Constitution,” Fritts told local outlets.

Having cleared the primary, Blackburn will run in the state’s general election on Nov. 3 against her Democratic opponent, Memphis City Councilwoman and Chief Public Defender Jerri Green.
