From her first days in public office leading the fight against a
Republican governor’s proposed state income tax, Diane Black has proven
herself as a fearless leader, unafraid to stand up to members of her own
party when they stray from our conservative principles. A small
business owner and a nurse for more than 40 years, Diane is leading the
fight to balance the federal budget, overhaul our broken tax code,
REPEAL Obamacare, and protect our Tennessee values, which is why the
American Conservative Union honored her with the prestigious “Defender
of Liberty” award for her 100% conservative voting record.
In Congress, Diane Black fought back against President Obama’s
out-of-control spending by cosponsoring a Balanced Budget Amendment to
the U.S. Constitution and working with Chairman Paul Ryan to author the
Path to Prosperity Budget which cuts spending by $4.6 trillion, saves
Medicare for future generations, and balances within ten years. Diane
Black was the first member of Congress to pass legislation repealing a
health care provision in Obamacare which saved taxpayers $13 billion.
She is continuing to fight tooth and nail to fully repeal this law.
Building off of her work in the Tennessee state legislature as a
leader in the fight to stop illegal immigration, Diane Black wrote and
passed through the House of Representatives legislation to defund
President Obama’s politically motivated lawsuits against states like
Arizona that enforce commonsense immigration laws, earning Black an A+
rating during the 112th Congress from the conservative anti-amnesty
group Numbers USA.
A tireless advocate for the rights of the unborn, Diane Black’s first
piece of legislation in the 113th Congress, H.R. 217 would withhold
federal funding for Planned Parenthood and other so-called “family
planning” organizations that perform abortions. Black is also the author
of H.R. 940, the Health Care Conscience Rights Act, legislation to
protect the First Amendment rights of health care providers to refuse to
perform abortions and offers full exemption from the Obama
administration’s Health and Human Services (HHS) employee healthcare
mandate that requires coverage for abortion inducing drugs.
As a member of the House Ways & Means Committee, Diane Black is a
leading voice in the fight to stop the rampant abuses of power within
President Obama’s Internal Revenue Service (IRS). Most recently, Black
introduced H.R. 2022, Stopping Government Abuse of Taxpayer Information
Act, legislation that calls for the immediate firing of all IRS agents
who targeted Americans based on their beliefs and goes after all
government agencies with access to Obamacare’s Federal Data Services
Hub, the largest compilation of personal information the U.S. government
has ever attempted, according to the Wall Street Journal.
Black and her husband of over 30 years, Dr. David Black have three
grown children and six grandchildren. They live in Gallatin and attend
Community Church in Hendersonville.
Please reelect Diane Black to Congress in the 6th District. For more on Diane Black, visit her website.
