Battle for the General Assembly 2006: Senate Districts 1, 3, 5, 7
There aren't a lot of contested primaries in this year's Senate elections, but their small number is made up for in potential intensity. We'll walk through all of the odd-numbered districts in this series, but really just fly by the ones where there's no primary action, and revisit them in the Fall.
District 1 - Cocke, Greene, Hamblen, and Unicoi counties
Republican incumbent Steve Southerland will face Democrat Duran Williams in November. Neither has a primary opponent.
District 3 - Washington and Carter counties
Republican incumbent Rusty Crowe is unopposed.
District 5 - Anderson, Loudon, Monroe and part of Knox counties
Republican incumbent Randy McNally is unopposed. And why do I want to look at a map every time I see his name?
District 7 - Part of Knox County
Republican incumbent Tim Burchett is unopposed.
Okay, so this was a boring set. Don't worry: we'll pick up with the 9th District next time out.
