I Told You So

Speculation, August 2025, Hwy 321
If Aikens, Henline, Wampler and Simpson are re-elected

Last week, someone posted a campaign video on social media for the four incumbents running for re-election in Lenoir City. The video is narrated by the son of Lenoir City council member, Jennifer Wampler and another man named Sam Dalili. Mr. Dalili is, by his own statement, the one who hung the large sign on his downtown building with mayor Tony Aikens, picture on it.

The hottest issue in the city election is, without doubt, massive over development caused by the incumbents. Amazingly, only one candidate even mentions the issue but he says it's good but the city needs to "pump the breaks a little" on development. This after voting for every mass development in the city.

The 16 minute video is a little hard to watch, given the current issues facing the city, but it really shows just how politically tone deaf the incumbents really are. I told you. Not a one of them mentions anything they will do different if they're re-elected.

Below is a link to the video.
