Many Updates
Since the last post, quite a few things have happened. Let's get started.....
Not only has Mike Padgett announced his candidacy, but Nashville attorney and former party chair Bob Tuke also announced he will run for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate. Both men are very well liked in their respective areas, so this should prove an interesting primary. The men are fighting for the right to face Senator Lamar Alexander. Make sure to check out both of their websites: http://www.votepadgett.com and http://www.tukefortennessee.com.
Rob Russell, Director of the Writing Center at ETSU and musician, has announced his candidacy for the U.S. Congress in Tennessee's First Congressional District. Rob is seeking the seat currently held by freshman Congressman David Davis, who also happens to find himself in a tough primary battle against Johnson City Mayor Dr. Phil Roe. Rob has held a couple of petition signing events in the Upper East Tennessee area and has been making the rounds to the Democratic Women's Clubs of the 1st district. Make sure to check him out at http://www.myspace.com/robforcongress.
Casey Nicholson, a Greeneville native, has announced his candidacy for the State House of Representatives for the 5th district. This district encompasses half of Greene County and all of Unicoi County. The seat is currently held by Rep. David Hawk, a Republican from Greeneville.
Casey is the son of a single mother who taught at Highland Elementary School for thirty-eight years. Casey's father was a blue collar auto technician who lived in Greene County most of his life and passed away in 2002. Casey is a graduate of Greeneville High School, Walters State Community College, East Tennessee State University, and Memphis Theological Seminary. He earned honors credentials in all of his post-high school degrees.
Casey is an ordained minister of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church and is currently pursuing a Ph.D. degree at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland where he is studying Religion & Politics.
