Chris Clem Will Not Seek Re-election

Thanks to HamDems, TeamGOP, and TennesseeTicket commenter dan, I've learned that Rep. Chris Clem has decided to forego seeking another term in the State House.

Chris Clem's campaign in 2000 was a major factor in my gaining a greater interest in state and local politics, so I have to thank him for that. That year, I voted in a Republican primary for the first time in my life so that I could vote against Clem. (Obviously I was unsuccessful.)

I've opposed him politically from then onward, but I wish him all the best as he pursues more time with his family.

Now, the big question: who's going to run for this open seat?
