The Tennessee District 5 congressional seat is currently held by Democrat and weak moderate Rep. Jim Cooper. Cooper recently was re-elected to his 16th term in Congress without much to brag about in terms of accomplishments.
His most newsworthy moment of the past 32 years was when he remarked that South Carolinian voters had an ‘extra chromosome’ in voting for current U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham. When Cooper’s most known moment as a 32-year congressman insults those who have Down syndrome to make a cheap and unfunny political jab, it is probably time for a change.
With Tennessee becoming redder by the year and with redistricting on the horizon, Tennessee's 5th now has the opportunity to elect a congressional member that represents actual Tennessee values. Whether the Left likes it or not, Tennessee is becoming one of the safest Republican states in the country.
The GOP holds 7 out of 9 total congressional seats in the state. It is time for the GOP and the voters of Tennessee's 5th to elect a constitutional conservative who will uphold proper Tennessee belief systems.
That conservative is Robby Starbuck.
Starbuck has already garnered attention on the national stage. As a former Hollywood movie producer and director, Starbuck has worked with stars like Natalie Portman, Jamie Foxx, Smashing Pumpkins, Gina Rodriguez, Megan Fox, Megadeth, Benny Benassi, Lil Yachty, Snoop Dogg, Machine Gun Kelly and many more. However, he decided to risk his career by doing the most dangerous and controversial thing you can do in Hollywood, which is coming out as a conservative.
Starbuck is the son of a Cuban refugee. He realizes the dangers that the Democratic Party brings to the United States in embracing Marxism, critical race theory, and socialism.
Robby learned from his family how the American dream is the pinnacle of Western Civilization regarding equal opportunity and not equal outcome. He was motivated by these aspects to protect the country that had brought benefit to his family by migrating to the United States, so he decided to become a prominent conservative activist.
After coming out as a conservative and endorsing President Donald Trump, Starbuck became a well-known voice for the conservative movement, even speaking at the 2021 CPAC conference and announcing his congressional bid for the Republican nomination.
He’s been interviewed on President Trump’s Facebook Page by Lara Trump, Bill O’Reilly, Fox News, Fox Business, Breitbart, Sirius XM, Hugh Hewitt Show, and many more. He’s written political op-ed’s in The Federalist, Orange County Register, LA Times, and the Western Journal.
Robby has been endorsed by conservative figures such as Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, Congressman Ken Buck, Daily Wire host Candace Owens and Congressman Madison Cawthorn, R-N.C.
Starbuck embodies the values Tennesseans stand for. We do not believe in wasting taxpayer money, federal government intrusion as we have seen over the past year and a half with autocratic lockdown and mask policies, or reliance on the state to fund our downfall into Marxism.
Robby believes that a nation with a small government is the best path forward to defeat the Left and advocates for sustaining our American identity and culture that the Left is trying to destroy.
Jim Cooper is nothing more than a helpless establishment shill.
Robby Starbuck is the right choice for Tennessee's 5th.
