And They're Off

Friday was the first day for candidates to pick up qualifying petitions for the 2014 Loudon County, May primary election. 13 incumbents have already picked up petitions indicating they intend to seek re-election. At least three new comers have picked up petitions apparently intending to challenge incumbents.

Mike Young would be challenging David Meers for Loudon's first district seat "B".  Matthew Tinker has picked up for Lenoir City's second district seat "B" currently held by Rosemary Quillen. Quillen hasn't yet picked up a petition. Marvin Stanley has picked up for the fifth district seat "B" currently held by Sharon Yarbrough. Yarbrough has not yet picked up a petition.

The county primary will be on May 6th, 2014. Candidates have untill February 20th 2014 file their petitions to seek office.

I'll keep you posted.
