A Press Release about Barrett’s campaign was sent out this morning:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Jody Barrett Announces Congressional Run: Pro-Trump, Anti-Establishment, Tennessee Tough
Tennessee’s Most Conservative Legislator Launches Bid to Succeed Congressman Mark Green
DICKSON, TN – State Representative Jody Barrett (R-Dickson), ranked as the most conservative legislator in Tennessee history, today announced his campaign for Congress to succeed retiring Congressman Mark Green in Tennessee’s 7th District.
Barrett, a lifelong rural Tennessean and small business owner, enters the race as the America First fighter with a record of taking on both parties, defending life and liberty, and standing shoulder-to-shoulder with President Donald Trump.
“I’m the first legislator in Tennessee history to earn a perfect conservative voting record, and I promise to take that same Tennessee toughness to Washington to stand with President Trump and fight the liberal elites trying to destroy our way of life,” said Barrett. “I didn’t come from money or power, and I’ve never been impressed by either. I’ve always put Tennessee First, America First, and I always will.”
Barrett’s announcement comes as the Republican establishment eyes the open seat left by Congressman Green’s impending retirement. Known for his willingness to buck the political class, Jody Barrett offers voters a choice: a conservative fighter, not another insider.
“The swamp is the same no matter where you go. Big government handouts with big government price tags are bipartisan problems,” said Barrett. “It’s about standing your ground, voting your values, and fighting like hell for the people. I’ve taken on the elites in my own party and stood up for you. And like President Trump, they came after me, to get to you.”
In the State House, the Tennessee Report Card graded Barrett with the first-ever perfect 100% conservative voting record. Barrett is a relentless advocate for conservative values. He:
- Championed legislation to defend life and protect Second Amendment rights
- Led efforts to end sanctuary policies and deport illegal immigrant criminals
- Opposed unconstitutional COVID mandates and fought for individual freedom
- Called out government waste and stood firm against woke ideology and government overreach
- Backed President Trump and fought the swamp
- Authored and passed Tennessee’s Anti-Red Flag law to protect gun owners from unconstitutional government overreach
- Was one of only four Republicans who voted to shut down Governor Lee’s special session on red flag laws before it even started.
“I know what’s at stake, your family, your future, our way of life,” said Barrett. “That’s why I’m running for Congress. To stand with President Trump. To fight for you. To put Tennessee and America First.”

I wish Representative Barrett would reconsider his decision to take Representative Mark Green’s position. At the State level we are losing to the RINO’s. We need more men like Mr. Barrett here. Tennessee needs men who will stand up to the Federal Government and affirm out State Sovereignty; if not the next time we get a liberal in Washington the State will just roll over and die. Thank you.
