Provine has produced electronic and print media and developed strategy and message for Republican candidates and conservative causes. His mail has been the focus of news reports in The Commercial Appeal, The (Jacksonville) Leader, Johnson City Press, Kingsport Times-News, Tennessee Journal, Talk Business, and TV stations in Memphis, Nashville, and the Tri-Cities. Provine’s experience includes consulting and campaign management in Alabama, Arkansas, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Virginia.

Provine has four times been elected in the Republican Primary to serve on the Tennessee Republican Party’s governing body, the State Executive Committee. He served on the Transition Committee of former Arkansas Lt.
