Fowlkes Out
I received one report, but haven't yet noticed it echoed elsewhere, that Rep. Joe Fowlkes (D-Pulaski) is stepping down. "He said he was tired of raising money," says an anonymous source.
The e-mail also goes on to suggest that this will send the Democratic Party into a mild panic, since Fowlkes eked out a victory in 2004 and the district, like many rural Tennessee districts, trends Republican where it once elected Democrats.
UPDATE: Rep. Stacey Campfield has more.
