August Ballot Set

With the April 1st deadline past, a number of the races for the August election are set. For the county election, four school board seats will be on the ballot. Two seats in the second district, the forth district and the sixth district. Second district school board member, Larry Proaps, will not seek reelection. the other second district member, Bobby Johnson Jr. and forth district board member, Leroy Tate will be unopposed. Sixth district member, Steve Harrelson, is running for county commission which leaves his school board seat vacant.

Qualifying to run for Proap's vacated seat is William Jenkins and Christopher Thomas. Looking to fill Harrelson's vacated seat will be Christie Allen Kreischer and Keva Largent.

21st district Representative, Jimmy Matlock and 5th District State Senator, Randy Mcnally will be unopposed for their reelections. 32 District incumbent State Representative, Dennis Ferguson, will be facing opposition from a fellow democrat in the August election that is also a state primary election. Democrat James Tapp, Roane County, will challenge Ferguson for his seat in the primary. Two republicans will also be vying for a shot at the seat in the primary. Julia C. Hurley (Loudon Co) will face Jason Bagnell (Roane Co) for the right to represent the republicans against the democrat winner in August.

Both parties will also elect a committee man and woman to represent their respective parties.
