THE TC DEMOCRAT

A few days late, I know....

Democrat Mike McWherter, son of former governor Ned McWherter, says he’s forming an exploratory committee to consider a run for the Senate next year.

McWherter, a Jackson businessman, says he will travel the state in the next weeks to meet with potential supporters and voters.

The incumbent is Sen. Lamar Alexander, a Republican, who was elected in 2002. Alexander was previously a two-term governor, U.S. education secretary, a university president and a two-time presidential candidate.

McWherter, 51, practiced law in Nashville until his father was elected governor in 1986, and then moved to Jackson to run his family’s beer distribution business.

Ned McWherter served two terms as governor and was previously speaker of the Tennessee House for 14 years.
