Phil Bredesen names campaign team for U.S. Senate run

Tennessee U.S. Senate candidate Phil Bredesen will lean on some of his closest advisers from his time as governor and a new crop of Democratic aides as he launches his first campaign in more than a decade.

Bredesen, who entered the race last month, named his campaign team on Thursday, appointing businesswoman Gina Lodge, former commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Human Services, campaign treasurer.

Bredesen is a great guy who was an effective governor and mayor of Nashville. He may actually return TN to blue in that seat!
