I am unsure if she was in TN Gov back in 2001.
I will have to research that. But the mentality was the same.
Just reporting on what I read on his very disjointed website.
Thanks for adding clarification. ...There’s been so much of this stuff going on for a year or two that it just gets all jumbled up.
The GOP is a hollowed-out, fake party at this point. 216 of 233 GOP House reps voted for the maneuver that would have enabled a Democrat/GOPe-driven straight amnesty bill.
That just barely failed, but now the WH apparently is set to give it all away anyway:

Protests can be registered by calling the WH at 202-456-1111.
She must really be good because somebody is spending zillions to run her down.
I don’t know that Boyd and Harwell are any better.
A very trenchant observation. Even more important, the all very well financed attacks on her that I've seen, including the article I posted, are anonymous. The article isn't even dated. That means the attacker(s) don't dare reveal who they are, meaning the attacks would lose all credibility if the attacker(s) had the guts to identify themselves. All of these anonymous smears mean I'm even more inclined to support her.
Well, that’s my thought also
I think the boyd adds alway say the treasurer is a Nicewonger. Is that the Greenville TN Nicewongers?
OK, you’ve got me. What’s a “Nicewonger?”
he Owns Landair trucking. He has contributed a lot of money in Greeneville TN and has financed and has named for him a performing arts center and children arts center in Greenville..
He is treasurer of the Boyd campaign. At first I thought Boyd was a Greeneville type but he is from West Tennessee. He has Nicewonger money financing him it seems.
Scott M. Niswonger
Scott Niswonger
Chairman and Foundernamed for him a performing arts center and a childrens hospital
Scott M. Niswonger was born in Van Wert, Ohio where he took his first flight lesson at the age of twelve, soloed on his sixteenth birthday, and received his private pilot license on his seventeenth birthday. During his aviation career, he has flown everything from J-3 Cubs to the Boeing 747, currently enjoying his Gulfstream IV and Navy T-34 trainer. He is a graduate of Purdue University with a degree in Aviation Technology and was awarded a Doctorate of Technology in 2004. He earned a BSBA from Tusculum College in 1986 and was awarded a Doctorate of Human Letters in 2006. Recently, he received the most prestigious award the Federal Aviation Administration issues to pilots – The Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award.
Scott moved to Greeneville, Tennessee as the corporate pilot for the president of the Magnavox Company. In 1973, Niswonger started a cargo airline, General Aviation, Inc. After selling General, he became the Vice President of North American Operations for Flying Tiger Lines – a military contractor and global cargo airline. He later co-founded a second transportation company, Landair Services, with an initial investment of $2000; and in 1990 formed Forward Air Corporation (FWRD). Those companies today have annual sales of over $1 billion. It’s impressive to note that he founded the first two companies to ever be taken public in Greene County’s 231 year history. Niswonger currently serves as Executive Chairman of Landair Transport, Inc. and Chairman Emeritus of Forward Air Corporation. He is a member of the Executive Committee and Board of Directors of First Horizon National Corporation (NYSE; FHN), the parent of First Tennessee Bank, a $26 billion financial services company. He serves as Chairman of the Board of Trustees for East Tennessee State University, where he has been awarded an Honorary Doctorate and recognized as an Honorary Alumnus.
He is especially proud of the Niswonger Foundation that he established in 2001 with the mission “to create opportunities for individual and community growth through education and other sustainable projects.” The Foundation’s two major areas of focus are the Scholarship and Leadership program, developing leaders to return to serve their home communities; and the School Partnership program, focused on ensuring that students are ready for post-secondary education and the workforce, and providing professional learning opportunities for educators.
Scott is the lead benefactor for the Niswonger Children’s Hospital. This hospital provides a full complement of specialty health service to children, is home to a Shriners Hospitals Orthopedics Clinic, and is one of only six St. Jude Affiliate Clinics in the world.
“My personal philosophy is best described in the motto of the Niswonger Foundation – “Learn, Earn and Return,” and the Biblical admonition of Luke 12:48: “To whom much is given much is expected.” Every person has a finite number of heartbeats. Let’s use them wisely.”
Thanks for doing the research; good job.
I miss Farragut.. currently in greeneville. Curious as to what you found. The NRA endorsed her, but if she is for amnesty and abortion.. having a few guns won’t save us.
Slippery Mike Pence backed Black in the primary:

Here’s an example of how she tried to fool just enough voters on immigration in order to win the primary:
The ACU endorsed her, but she was anti-Trump in various ways in 2016 — including saying you “can’t build a wall” on the border before pandering with a bill that would allow donations for the building the wall.
Here is what Diane Black says:

And here is commentary from the Heritage Foundation:

Yeah, we love Farragut. It’s like a different planet than SoCal.
Thanks for posting back to me. I am very disappointed the wall is not funded while every liberal cause is funded continuously and not a single threat of veto.
Your a,long way from socal. Im a Norcal fan.. still hoping we can get norcal as a seperate state. ;)
