Elections in Knox County
Hi Everyone!
Borrowing a bit from Brian's Blog, I thought I'd post this little thing concerning the upcoming elections here in Knox County. Here's who's running plus a few thoughts of my own concerning some of the candidates. I'll be updating this as things go along.
U.S. House of Representative District 2
(R) John J. Duncan, Jr. - A nice enough guy, I've met him a couple times. Opposed to the War in Iraq.
(R) Ralph McGill - No idea who this is. I think he might be a warning shot across Duncan's bow to stop going off the reservation (i.e.: Iraq)
(D) Robert R. Scott - I've also met Mr. Scott a couple of times. A lone voice in the wilderness.
5th District State Senate
(R) State Senator James R. McNally, III
7th District State Senate
(R) State Senator Tim Burchett - Failure to Launch
13th District State House Representative
(D) Representative Harry Tindell - Harry's my Man! He's my rep and has my complete support and endorsment!
(R) James R. Parker - No idea who this is and since I'm voting for Rep. Tindell, I don't care who he is.
14th District State House Representative
(R) Representative Park M. "Parkey" Strader - He's currently leading the charge to save us from landscaping herbs! We should be so thankful and praise his name.
15th District State House Representative
(D) Representative Joseph Armstrong - A prime example of what a good representative should be.
(I) Pete Drew - What are independents? Why do they bother? Why should we care? I don't.
16th District State House Representative
(R) House Republican Caucus Chairman Bill Dunn
17th District State House Representative - Since only Republicans are running I don't care about either one.
(R) State Representative Frank Nicely
(R) Jim Bletner
18th District State House Representative
(R) State Representative Stacey Campfield - A nice enough guy but an embarrassment to Tennessee and particulary the good folks of the 18th District. I think he'll be gone after the May 2nd primary.
(R) Gary Drinnen - I don't know him but he seems to have the support of many local Republican power players and I think that he'll be Republican candidate.
(R) George Dodson - A right-wing looney and former ally of Rep. Campfield's. Now he's running, interestingly enough, not to help Campfield but to defeat Drinnen, who he calls a RINO (Republican In Name Only). He'll be gone after the May 2nd primary.
(D) Schree Pettigrew - A very strong and dedicated Democrat. The 18th's best choice after the legacy of idiocy left by Rep. Campfield. Schree has my endorsement.
(I) David Garrett, Jr. - Another Indendent. Totally insignificant.
19th District State House Representative
(R) Representative Harry Brooks
County Elected Offices.
County Mayor - Both are Republican so it hardley matters, yet I hope Steve wins if only to upset the local Republican power brokers. That'd be hoot I'd enjoy! Either way they're both Republicans so ...
(R) Steve Hall
(R) Mayor Mike Ragsdale
