August Update

The deadline to qualify for the August election is past. We now have a good idea what the August ballot will look like. Candidates still can withdraw through 14th.

Probably the three races of most interest locally will be the 32nd House race and the Lenoir City school board race.

There are two city school board seats on the ballot in August. There are four candidates running for those two seats. Incumbent, Matthew Coleman is running for re-election. Bobby Johnson Sr. is not seeking re-election. Lenoir City residents, Chris Clabough, Laci Murray and Monty Ross will also seeking one of the two seats.

Incumbent Lenoir City municipal judge, Robin McNabb will be seeking re-election. Lenoir City council attorney, Greg Harrison and Lenoir City attorney Amanda Smith are also running for the judge's position.

In the 32nd house race, Lenoir City mayor, Tony Aikens did not qualify to run. That leaves five Roane County candidates running on the republican ticket. The 32nd district is made up of a small portion of Loudon County and nearly all of Roane County. This makes it almost impossible for a Loudon County candidate to win that office. Loudon County doctor, Jan Hahn, is running on the democrat ticket for the seat.

Long time 9th district Chancellor, Frank Williams will be seeking re-election. Williams has held the position since 1984. Williams is being challenged by Roane County attorney, Tom McFarland.

After the may election, we'll discuss the August election in more detail.
