At least for one day, Bobby Johnson Jr. had
competition in his race for the treasurer/recorder seat in the November
election. However in an email received here, Rebecca McDaniel
Watkins, who had filed as a write-in candidate for the
treasurer/recorder seat states that she has withdrawn her name for
consideration as a write-in. So it appears that Jr. will in fact be the
next treasurer/recorder for Lenoir City unless someone else qualifies as
a write-in.
Mr. Shaver,
I was notified by a friend this morning
(9/10/08) that my name appeared on your web
site as a possible write-in candidate for
the position of Lenoir City
Recorder/Treasurer. I did submit a form on
Monday morning (9/8/08).
I saw this as a first step in a process;
and I did not realize that this first step
would become a part of the public record so
quickly.
On Tuesday morning (less than 24 hours
later) I called the
Election Commission office and informed them
that I had decided not to follow through
with my petition to have my name added to
the campaign as a write-in candidate.
Thank you, in advance, for getting this
information on your web site as soon as
possible.
Rebecca McDaniel Watkins 9/10/2008
