Smith Would Love The Endorsement Of Her Former Boss Zach Wamp

But she may not get it:

Mrs. Smith, a Hixson resident, is a former Wamp staff person and most recently was chairwoman of the Tennessee Republican Party.

Asked if Mr. Wamp, who is seeking the Republican nomination for governor, will endorse her, Mrs. Smith said she understands he’s busy with his own campaign.

“I would love to have that happen,” she said. “But having worn the hat of a state party chairman, I understand he has his race to win. I do appreciate his counsel, the advice he has already given me. And I think people know I have been a longtime supporter of Congressman Wamp.”

UPDATE: Robin Smith never served as a staff person for Wamp. She was a volunteer.
