| The next election will be
March 5 (Tuesday), 2024. This election will be a presidential primary
election. There will also be several local elections on the ballot.
County commission 5th district
seat (A) unexpired term, county school board, odd districts, 1st
district seat (A) and (B), 3rd district, 5th district seat (A) and (B)
and 7th district.
Last November, long time Loudon
County commissioner, Harold Duff, passed away leaving seat (A) vacant.
In December, county commission appointed Joe Morrison to fill the vacant
seat. That appointment was until the next county election. That next
election will be the Loudon County Republican/Democrat primary on March
5th, 2024.
Joe has now been on commission
eleven months and has already been through one budget adoption process
and has shown a very conservative stand on many votes. Not only did
commissioner Morrison vote for a very conservative budget, he is 100%
supportive of the county commission's continued efforts to bring
managed, controlled growth to the county.
I absolutely support
commissioner Morrison's campaign to fill the seat.
No doubt, the realtors and home
builders associations will be after the seat again as they were in the
2022 election. And you can bet Lenoir City mayor, Tony Aikens, will have
a hand picked candidate running for the seat. He desperately wants to
control Loudon County commission like he does his city council.
5th district county commission
seat (A), unexpired term, so far has two candidates. Incumbent Joe
Morrison has already qualified to run. 5th district resident, Marty
Fugate, has also picked up a qualifying petition for the seat.
In the 1st district, incumbent
school board members Kenny Ridings, seat (A) and Scott Newman, seat (B)
have both picked up qualifying petitions to seek re-election.
3rd district school board
incumbent, Phil Moffit, has decided not to run for re-election. 3rd
district residents Andy Disney and
Elijah McNabb have picked up qualifying petitions for that seat.
Both incumbent 5th district board
members, Melissa
Browder seat (A) and Lisa Harvey seat (B) have picked up qualifying
petitions to seek re-election.
7th district BOE member, Ken
Presley has also picked a qualifying petition to run for re-election.
The only county wide race
on the ballot will be Loudon County Property Assessor. Incumbent
assessor, Mike Campbell has already qualified to seek re-election.
Any candidate wishing to run
for any of the local offices have until December 14, 2023, 12:00 Noon to
qualify.
Below are a few of the
candidate announcements
Joe Morrison has announced his
candidacy for Loudon County
Commissioner, District 5, Seat A, in
2024. Morrison was appointed by
County Commission to fill the
unexpired term of the late
Commissioner Harold Duff until the
next county general election in
2024. He is a conservative
Republican and would be grateful for
the opportunity to continue the
fight for constitutional freedoms
and addressing the contestable
land development push that is taking
place in the 5th district
and beyond.
Morrison is a 26-year employee of
Covenant Health where he works in
the IT Department and Treasurer at
Good Shepherd UMC for the past 13
years. He has a bachelor’s degree in
Organizational Management from
Tusculum College and an associate
degree in Business
Management/Information Technology
from Roane State Community College.
Joe has been married to his wife
Lisa for 36 years and they have a
son (Ethan), daughter-in-law
(Logan), and granddaughter
(Ruthie).

Hello, I am Elijah McNabb. I am excited
to announce my candidacy for the 3rd
District seat on Loudon County's Board
of Education. I am eager to bring a
fresh and dedicated presence to the
Loudon County school board.
Most candidates run on the idea of being
“unbiased”. That is not me because I
believe in being biased in the best
interest of the students while
simultaneously being financially
responsible to the taxpayers. I strongly
believe our community can be compared to
a house that has various fundamental
parts. What we invest in our foundation,
which I believe to be children,
determines how strong we become and how
we thrive as one!
We have multiple new issues on the
horizon for the whole county which is
why I am humbly asking for your support
and vote so, I can ensure Greenback
gets the time and attention it deserves
and is owed.
I believe
in the current political world we are in
dire need of transparency and
communication so I invite everyone to
follow my Facebook page for updates Elijah
McNabb For Loudon County School Board
3rd District
