CLARKSVILLE, TN (CLARKSVILLE NOW) – Aron Maberry, a candidate for Tennessee House representative in District 68, has been endorsed by Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee.

“Aron Maberry is a dedicated public servant and conservative champion who stands for parental rights and will work hard to deliver opportunity, security and freedom for Tennesseans, including school choice for every Tennessee family,” Lee said in a statement provided by the Maberry campaign. “Aron will represent Montgomery County with integrity, and I fully support his election to the General Assembly.”

Maberry said, “I am grateful for our great governor, Bill Lee’s, support and being one of only three public open primary endorsements. I look forward to working with him next year in the Tennessee General Assembly.”

The Republican primary for District 68 has four candidates: Maberry, Carol Duffin, Greg Gilman and Joe Smith. They are running to replace Rep. Curtis Johnson, who is retiring after many years in the position. The primary is Aug. 1, and early voting begins July 12.
