Later that day, Congressman Tim Burchett publicly endorsed Taylor’s congressional campaign. Taylor quoted Burchett’s statement in his post: “Congressman Tim Burchett Endorses Brent Taylor for Congress
“I am proud to support my friend Brent Taylor. He has worked hard to clean up Memphis, Tennessee, and I know that he will continue that fight in Congress for all the people of Tennessee’s 9th District.” — Congressman” The endorsement comes as Taylor seeks broader support ahead of the election.
On May 13, Taylor continued to highlight growing backing from local officials by announcing another endorsement: “ENDORSEMENT ALERT Team Taylor’s momentum continues! I’m honored to have the support of Fayette County Mayor Skip Taylor as I work to Take Tennessee to the Top.”
