Republican Senate candidate and conservative outsider Dr. Manny Sethi was endorsed today by former Congressman Ed Bryant, who represented Tennessee in the U.S. House of Representatives and served as a Magistrate Judge for the Western District of Tennessee.

“It matters who leads, who represents us and our values,” Bryant said, “We need a Senator who won’t forget about West Tennessee. We have the opportunity to send a real conservative to Washington, someone who will stand up for all of Tennessee, which is why I’m endorsing Dr. Manny for Senate.”

Sethi said he is humbled to have the support of Bryant.

“From his time as U.S. Attorney, to his service in the Congress, to his decade in the judiciary, he has always stood for what is good and decent about our state,” said Dr. Manny, “Ed Bryant has always been a conservative fighter, standing up for life, small business, and our Second Amendment rights, and has represented the best of West Tennessee.”
