August 7th Election Candidates
The August election will be the Loudon County General election and
the state and federal primary election. While you will have to choose
which party's primary you will vote in for the state and federal
election, all county candidates will appear on both ballots. All the winning county candidates from the May primary will be on the ballot but all those races will be uncontested meaning if a candidate gets just one vote, they win. The only contested county race will be in the 2nd district seat "A" school board race where incumbent William Jenkins is being challenged by Joshua Marler. In the governors race, Bill Haslem will face three republican challengers with four candidates vying for the democratic nomination. In the senate race, Lamar Alexander will face seven republican challengers with four democrats running on the democrat ticket. In the United States House of Representatives, District 2 Republican primary, congressman incumbent John J. "Jimmy" Duncan, Jr. will face lone challenger Jason Zachary with only one democrat running. State representatives, Jimmy Matlock and Kent Calfee will be unopposed in their August primary races but will face democrat challengers in November. State senate incumbent Randy McNally is unopposed. Below is a list of candidates that will appear on the August 7th election ballot. Not including the state committee elections, there are only six contested races in the August election. This could make for a very low voter turnout. Candidates, if you have a web site and/or facebook page, I will be glad to link it up. My email sarahlccom@aol.com
