Randy Boyd is literally running to become Tennessee's next governor.
The founder and chairman of Radio Systems in Knoxville is an avid marathon runner who turned his passion for running into a 537.3-mile run across the state over 13 weeks last year to introduce himself — and more importantly, he says, listen to what others are saying — in his first bid for elected office.
Boyd's journey from Bristol to Memphis mirrors now-U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander's famous walk across the state in his gubernatorial bid four decades ago — with a couple of differences.
"I didn't wear a plaid shirt and I ran, not walked, across the state," Boyd quipped in an appearance before Hamilton County's Pachyderm Club in April.
Boyd has always been one to run a bit faster than others. He graduated from high school and entered the University of Tennessee at Knoxville when he was still 16. While working weekends and nights for his father's electric fence company, Fi-Shock, Boyd graduated from UT in only three years to become the first member of his family to earn a college degree — and he did so by the time he was 19.

“...turned his passion for running into a 537.3-mile run across the state over 13 weeks last year to introduce himself — and more importantly, he says, listen to what others are saying”
So, he says he ran across the state to listen to what people are saying? Okay.
lib or Pro-Trump conservative?
just curious.
Listening tour. Without a Scooby van.
I would have taken the train.
Punk. “Common Core” lover, who gave La Raza 250K.
I received a flyr in the mail yesterday and another today. Boyds was the sbject of both
The first was critical of him outsourcing jobs to China. He then launched a new company in China. By April of ‘17, half of his employees were out of tennessee. above hishead was a banner China Thanks Randy Boyd . To sebd out such a slick mailing somebody doesn’t like him
The one today was from him. Both sides featured guns and the secon amandment It was over the top and smacked of fake news
I really haven’t known anything about Boyd until he entered the gubernatorial race.
However I found this from the site Rocky Top Politics site (https://rockytoppolitics.com/):
“It didn’t take long for the college tuition subsidies for illegal aliens issue to hit the governor’s race. That is not surprising. ... But not Randy Boyd. Oh, nooo. El Jefe Randy probably should have remained at least quiet on the subject, given his history of bankrolling illegal alien project (i.e., $250,000 in personal contributions for La Raza-supported training programs that help teach illegals how to take American restaurant jobs), Senior Randy just had to open his mouth and let loose with this little gem:
“We need to bring more people in to the state of Tennessee, and I want to bring people in … from wherever in the world they want to come from. 3-15-2018”
This makes Boyd sound like another Lamar! Alexander/Bill Haslam.
You nailed it.
thanks for the info.
Conservative
He is known as La Raza Randy to local conservatives for his $250,000 contributions to the racist organization. He claims to be pro-Tennessee but farmed all of his work out to China. He is a fake conservative.
Nope. La Raza Randy, AKA Beijing Boyd is a Left-wing Establishment hack. He’s the one candidate likely Democrat nominee Karl “Marx” Dean wants to run against more than any other, because he knows La Raza Randy will kill Republican turnout and not only help him win, but Bredesen, too.
Tennesseans, it is paramount to vote for Diane Black in the GOP Gubernatorial primary !
But a genuine leftist.
ANTI-TRUMP, ILLEGAL HUGER, GUN GRABBER, LIAR, responsible for bringing Somali’s to Nashville, gave La Raza $250,000 supports LIB groups, does that answer your question? Bill Dance is promoting him as is Huckabee, Chip Saltzman is Boyd’s campaign Director and Chip was Huckabee Campaign director when he ran for president. ‘Nuff said!
Gas Tax Hiker Beth Harwell RINO Pushed through the most Progressive GAS TAX hike on top of the .21 cents TN already pays.
Bill Lee MODERATE No political experience, I don’t know, I need to read up on that, are the answers you get, plus he gave to the Ex-Mayor of Nashville who was having affair with her Bodyguard at Tax Payer’s expense.
Diane Black most Conservative of the bunch. https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/politics/tn-elections/2018/06/27/tn-politics-2018-election-governor-race-diane-black-randy-boyd-bill-lee/739343002/
All the first 3 say they can balance the State Budget. Harwell says she’s balanced 8 she was 1 of many votes as a REP. Balancing a businesses budget and home one is NOT the same as Balancing a State’s Budget.
1 problem with their lies, Tennessee State Constitution DEMANDS a Balanced Budget!
I believe you. But some folks I plan to tell will want proof... do you have a link?
Thank you!
