Walton Joins Bevy of Billionaires Backing Blackburn

Jim Walton, an heir to the Walmart family fortune, is among the latest in a group of out-of-state billionaires backing Marsha Blackburn’s bid for Governor.

The youngest son of Walmart founder Sam Walton is now on the Marsha Blackburn bandwagon.

The latest campaign financial report indicates that pro-Blackburn Team Tennessee PAC received $100,000 from Walton in the last reporting period.

The Walton family has long supported private school discount coupons – otherwise known as school vouchers. These schemes divert funds from working-class families to wealthy families to use as tuition discounts at private schools.
