Hubert Smith of the Hubert Smith Radio Show has confirmed that former Knox County School Board Member Tommy Prince will be a candidate for the Tennessee House of Representatives 18th District position.
Tommy served on the School Board from 1992-2000 being replaced in his re-election bid by the voters for Brian Hornback of Brian's Blog. Brian served the district from 2000-2004. Brian began Brian's Blog at the conclusion of his term as a School Board member.
Evidently, the Chamber crowd with Gary Drinnen as their candidate and Jimmy Naifeh's crowd with Shree Pettigrew as their candidate haven't spent enough money trying to beat The Rep.
Brian's Blog will go out on a limb right now and say that Representative Stacey Campfield is unbeatable.
Hubert also reports that Matthew Jones a Republican has filed the necessary forms to begin raising money and to support a candidacy for County Commission Sixth District taking on liberal Democrat Sharon Cawood.
Matthew Jones is a Probation Officer at Knox County Juvenile Court.
Ms. Cawood in December 2006 became a employee of the Knox County Juvenile Court Clerk's Office. Ms. Cawood's husband was the County Commissioner and she was appointed on January 31, 2007 to take the position that he had been elected to. Within a few days of her appointment. Her husband become an employee of the Knox County Sheriff's Department as a Baliff. So the immediate Cawood family is at least triple dipping from the taxpayers of Knox County.
