2020 election
Harshbarger announced on May 12, 2020 her run for Congress in the first congressional district of Tennessee to succeed retiring Republican Phil Roe.[2] She received the endorsement of the Susan B. Anthony List[3] as well as the support of Donald Trump[4] for her bid.
After handily winning the Republican primary, Harshbarger faced Democrat nominee Blair Walsingham, who ran on the insistence of being a "moderate Democrat".[5] Harshbarger easily won the open seat in what is a historically Republican stronghold.
