Monty Fritts, a public figure and political candidate in Tennessee, recently shared several messages on his social media account addressing issues of faith, state budgeting, and political engagement.
On May 17, 2026, Fritts posted about attending a prayer event with community members in Woodbury. He wrote, “It was great to be with my friends in Woodbury to pray for our nation and for national repentance.”
The following day, on May 18, 2026, Fritts commented on economic concerns facing Tennesseans. He stated, “With Tennesseans hurting from gas prices and a projected $64B in revenue under a current FY budget of $59.8 Billion
Should the State Government tighten its belt and leave some $$ in the people’s pockets?” This message references ongoing concerns over fuel costs and state fiscal policy.
Later that same day, Fritts called for increased civic participation among men and advocated for political change. He posted, “Men, it’s time to get engaged.
Are you worried about the world your children are going to grow up in?
We have to vote the establishment out of our government that has been there for decades.
Let’s elect true Tennessee First candidates. I’m leading the charge, vote Fritts for” In this statement, he encouraged voters to support candidates who prioritize Tennessee’s interests over longstanding incumbents.
Tennessee’s projected revenue of $64 billion compared to a fiscal year budget of $59.8 billion reflects ongoing debates within the state about how surplus funds should be managed—whether through increased spending or tax relief measures.
