Episode #053 - A Conversation with Senator Marsha Blackburn

We were thrilled and grateful to have Senator Marsha Blackburn join us on May 2, 2024 for her first appearance on JRA LoudSpeaker. We were impressed by her wide breadth knowledge on so many topics facing our country, along with her steadfast support for Israel, the Jewish people, and the American people. She was incredibly articulate and is doing so much on Capital Hill to fight against the astonishing rise in anti-semitism across our nation and on college campuses, and is a strong beacon of hope in Washington, and her home state of Tennessee, as she continues to be a champion of the Judeo-Christian values our beloved country was founded upon.

When Marsha was 16 years old, she had her first job working at a dress shop. She went to college on a 4-H scholarship and went on to sell educational books door to door for the Southwestern company. It was then that she began developing her exceptional work ethic, which has become a staple of her career. Along the way, she learned there’s no substitute for ringing someone’s doorbell and listening to what they have to say, a lesson—and practice—she carries with her to this day.

While serving in the Tennessee Senate, Marsha led a statewide grassroots campaign to defeat a proposed state income tax. While defeating the tax, she quickly became known as a champion of anti-tax and government accountability issues. Taking to the airwaves, Marsha made the case that the government wrongly believes it never gets enough of the taxpayer’s paycheck.

In the U.S. Senate, Marsha is working to straighten up the mess in Washington and remind the Senate that it serves you. It is time for Congress to fulfill its promises to the people of Tennessee.

In the Senate, Marsha is fighting to:

- Hold big tech accountable

- Bring significant tax relief to hard-working Tennesseans

- Cut wasteful spending

- Keep our promises to our veterans and to those who defend our freedoms

- Secure our borders and ensure existing immigration laws are followed

- Combat Communist China’s propaganda, military aggression and human rights violations

- Protect unborn life

Marsha is a conservative with a record of accomplishment. She gets things done, and in the Senate, she is fighting for Tennessee families every day.

Marsha grew up in Laurel, Mississippi and graduated from Mississippi State University. She and her husband Chuck have been married for over 40 years and have two children and three grandchildren.
