Corker Staffer Devaney Joins Race for Tennessee GOP Chair
Today has been a busy one among Tennessee Republicans. Following the announcement by Robin Smith that she is stepping down at the end of the month, three candidacies were announced in short order. In addition to Oscar Brock and Rep. Eric Swafford, Chris Devaney, former party Executive Director and current State Director for U.S. Senator Bob Corker, also entered the race for party chair today.
From the Chattanoogan:
Professionally, for almost 20 years, I have had the privilege of supporting Republican values by supporting strong Republican leaders here in Tennessee and in Washington. I have worked to ensure that our values are carried to victory at the ballot box and implemented as policy after the election is over. From my time with the Tennessee Republican Party and three members of United States Senate, including Senator Bob Corker, to my work in the national media and running a business - my experience is broad and varied.
When I worked for Senator Fred Thompson, I learned a great deal about leadership and what it meant to stand on principle and never waiver from your core convictions. Fred taught me that our Republican ideals are not a random set of good ideas, but a closely knit set of principles that weave the fabric of our nation.
I'll have more information about the three candidates (and any others) over the next couple of weeks.
