Monty Fritts, a gubernatorial candidate in Tennessee, shared a series of posts on May 7, 2026, focusing on property tax reform and his campaign for governor.

In his first post at 12:26 UTC, Fritts wrote, “Property tax reform in TN https://t.co/prDlMDjTUV”.

Later that day at 15:00 UTC, he referenced scripture and emphasized his religious beliefs and campaign priorities: “2 Corinthians 3:17 states, ‘Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.’ Liberty is a gift bestowed upon us by Almighty God. I am unapologetically a Christian. I’m Tennessee First and Citizen only. Vote Fritts for Governor on August 6th. https://t.co/b6RSzejhlj”.

At 17:00 UTC, Fritts addressed voters directly regarding the upcoming election: “On August 6th, Tennesseans will have a choice to make. We can allow the political establishment, with their multi-million-dollar lobbying groups and the corporate media, to decide who will be Tennessee’s next Governor. Or we can elect a native son of Tennessee who has the guts https://t.co/C1SoqnkEJx”.

Fritts’ campaign messaging highlights issues such as property tax reform and positions himself as an outsider compared to established political figures in Tennessee. He also emphasizes his Christian faith and commitment to local values ahead of the state’s gubernatorial primary scheduled for August 6th.
