Tennessee Republican Party Chair Scott Golden has announced he will seek a third term as the state GOP’s leader, the Nashville Post reports. Golden was first elected to the job in 2016 after working as an aide to former Reps. Stephen Fincher and Marsha Blackburn (now a U.S. senator from the state). Golden said the party will spend much of 2021 preparing for redistricting and the 2022 election. His counterpart at the Tennessee Democratic Party, Mary Mancini, announced over the weekend that she would not seek re-election after an election cycle in which Republicans easily won statewide races for U.S. Senate and president and lost only one seat in the General Assembly.
