Nashville, TN — Bill Hagerty, candidate for U.S. Senate, released the following statement regarding mask mandates:

“Tennesseans are tired of mandates. Period,” said Bill Hagerty. “They do not need the government telling them what to do. I trust the good people of Tennessee to make the right decisions for themselves. I’m going to continue working closely with President Donald Trump to ensure our children can go to school in the fall and ensure our economy is even stronger than it was before China unleashed the Wuhan virus on the world.”

On Independence Day, Hagerty spoke with WRCB about his opposition to the mask mandate.

Hagerty earned President Trump’s “complete and total” endorsement on multiple occasions to be Tennessee’s next United States Senator while serving as the U.S. Ambassador to Japan. To learn more about Bill Hagerty, visit www.teamhagerty.com.
