-==2006 Senate campaign==
+==Election campaigns==
 In 2004, Corker announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate. Incumbent Republican, Senate Majority Leader [[Bill Frist]], had said that he was not going to run for reelection in 2006. Corker faced two other Republicans in the August primary, Ed Bryant and Van Hilleary, which he won with 48% of the vote to Bryant's 34% and Hilleary's 17%. Corker's [[Democratic]] opponent in the general election was congressman [[Harold Ford, Jr.]]. Corker had been declared the winner for the Senate seat in Tennessee. Results showed that the election was close, with Corker winning by less than three percentage points.
