Tennessee governor candidates make bold promises, but can they deliver?
A WSMV4 investigation finds that Tennessee's Republican gubernatorial candidates — Marsha Blackburn, John Rose, and Monty Fritts — have made campaign promises on immigration, education, foreign land ownership, and religious freedom that exceed the legal authority of the governor's office. The analysis highlights that implementing these proposals would require federal action, state legislative approval, or independent board decisions.
