TNGOP Chair: Committee Voted to Disqualify Morgan Ortagus, Robby Starbuck, and Baxter Lee from TN-5 GOP Ballot

Tennessee GOP Chairman Scott Golden confirmed to The Tennessee Star Tuesday evening that Morgan Ortagus, Robby Starbuck, and Baxter Lee are no longer candidates for the TN-5 GOP nomination after a vote by a select committee of the Tennessee Republican Party.

The select committee voted not to restore Robby Starbuck, Morgan Ortagus, who was endorsed by former President Donald Trump one week before she announced her candidacy,  and Baxter Lee to the ballot after they were previously removed because of verified challenges to their bona fide status.

Chairman Golden said in a statement, “This was a decision of the committee.”
