Endorsements in District 6 (updated)
This is just to update readers who may not have caught these items in the news already.
The Southeast Tennessee Political Action Committee, or SETPAC, heard from five of the six District 6 candidates last week at the Mountain City Club. (The choice of location led one candidate, Rick Igou, to forgo the proceedings.)
After the forum, SETPAC decided to endorse Julie Chamberlain, and the group also contributed $400 to her campaign.
Dr. Carol Berz has picked up a couple of endorsements as well. This morning's TFP reported that she has procured the nod from the city's firefighters union (but the TFP website is not working, so see Chattanoogan.com); and she earlier gained the support of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU).
In the private sector, so to speak, here are some individual LTE's:
Mary Gardenhire for Carol Berz
Bill Craig, James Parker, Tom Fryar Jr., Sid Arnwine for Rick Igou (and Jason Herndon against)
Jay Craven and Uneva Shaw for Charles Shaw
Colleen Carboni for Charles Shaw
Chuck Mehan for Carol Berz
If I have left out any announced endorsements, it is simply because I am not aware of them. Your help in completing the record is appreciated.
Early voting for this election began Wednesday, and continues through the 31st. Don't forget the Brainerd Unity Group's forum on January 24, 6:00pm, at the Friendship Community Church. Election Day is Tuesday, February 5.
A list of candidate websites and other information is available here. (This page will be moving soon, but I will try to put in a redirect).
