'Christian constitutionalist' hopes to knock off Black

Jerry Lowery, 55, an administrator at White County High School hoping to knock off U.S. Rep. Diane Black in Tennessee's 6th Congressional District, describes himself as a "Christian constitutionalist."

Overmatched financially — he has listed no contributions so far on federal campaign finance reports, while Black has nearly $1 million on hand — he hopes to win on principle.

"Through the guiding principles of the Scriptures and led by the Holy Spirit, our nation was born," he said in explaining the label. "God led men to start this great experiment in freedom … our government must be run with the Constitution in mind."

But when campaigning, Lowery said: "The No. 1 question asked of me is: 'Are you the incumbent?' I say no and they say, 'Well, I might vote for you then.' "
