I’ve known Mike McWherter for a long time, since he was just a kid. I have watched with pride over the years as Mike has developed into the strong and accomplished man he is today, and I never had any doubt that Mike would become a dedicated father and husband, passionate community leader and successful businessman.

Because I know who raised him and the value system he was brought up with.

I worked closely with his father, Governor Ned McWherter, for many years, serving on his Gubernatorial Campaign and in his Administration. He understood the responsibility of the job required a special level of commitment and compassion for the welfare of ALL Tennesseans, and he governed under that principle from his first day in office until his last.

I know that Mike will follow the example of his father, by standing up for the working families of Tennessee and applying the same common-sense approach to state government.

When Mike told me was running for Governor of Tennessee I had two simple questions: Where do I sign up and what can I do to help? But my support isn’t enough – Mike needs your help too, and he needs it TODAY! There is a major fundraising deadline this Friday, January 15th, and he needs your help to put him over the top and reach his goal.

That’s why Team McWherter is asking you to dig deep and contribute whatever you can afford today: $5, $10, $25, $50, $100, or more. Every penny will be used to run an efficient campaign operation and elect a strong, common-sense leader as the next Governor of Tennessee.

Will you help Mike today? We will need a network of supporters in all of Tennessee’s 95 counties to win this campaign, and we need you to be with us on Team McWherter. You have been a part of winning campaigns in the past and your support will make a difference!

Please help Mike McWherter and donate to his campaign today! There are only four days left and he needs your help now before January 15th.

Sincerely,

U.S. Senator Harlan Mathews
