Republican Tennessee Sens. Bob Corker and Lamar Alexander attended a fundraiser for Marsha Blackburn’s Senate campaign in Washington, according to a Victor Ashe column in the Knoxville Shopper.

Corker’s attendance is notable because of his tepid support for Blackburn to date. He has said he will not campaign against Democrat Phil Bredesen, who he has described as “someone I’ve been friends with and worked with.”

Blackburn’s Knox County headquarters will be located on Western Avenue, Ashe wrote.
