Monty Fritts, a candidate for governor in Tennessee, posted a series of statements on his Twitter account between May 11 and May 12, 2026. The tweets outlined his campaign priorities and views on state governance, law enforcement, and religious issues.
On May 11, Fritts emphasized his focus on tax policy, stating “I’m the only candidate running for governor in Tennessee who is truly committed to lowering taxes. People are struggling to pay for gas, medical expenses, groceries, and so much more. We can lower taxes. Vote Monty Fritts on August 6th!”
Later that day, he addressed concerns about government accountability in Nashville: “We need a come-to-Jesus meeting with our Government in Nashville. They think the Law doesn’t apply to them. If a law is constitutional, we need to follow it. One of the reasons I’m running for Governor is to bring Law and order back to parts of Tennessee. We need to get back”.
On May 12, Fritts commented on religious expression and national security: “Don’t come into my Tennessee and say, ‘Your Jesus offends me.’ If that’s the case, then go back home! The Muslim Brotherhood should be labeled an enemy of the United States.”
Fritts’s campaign messages reflect ongoing debates in Tennessee over taxation policies and government transparency as well as broader national discussions regarding religious identity and security designations for organizations like the Muslim Brotherhood.
