U.S. Senate Republican candidate Bill Hagerty said Monday that he had filed his nominating petition to qualify for the Republican primary ballot with the most signatures for a GOP candidate running for public office in Tennessee history.
Hagerty announced this on his campaign’s website.
“I’m Bill Hagerty and I’m here today to submit my petition for U.S. Senate. We have over 2,500 signatures from all 95 counties, the most ever in Tennessee. Thank you, Tennessee!” Hagerty said.
U.S. Republican President Donald Trump has already endorsed Hagerty on his official Twitter page, while Hagerty was U.S. ambassador to Japan.
