Breakfast with Padgett, lunch with Tuke
Two Democratic candidates for the United States Senate will be in the Scenic City within a few days of each other to meet area voters and seek support in the August 7 primary election.
Mike Padgett, a former Knox County clerk, will be at Wally's Restaurant at 1600 McCallie Avenue this morning from 7:00 - 8:30.
Bob Tuke, a Nashville attorney and former state party chair for the Democrats, will be in town on Monday for a luncheon at UTC Patten House, 801 Oak St. The time is 11:30 - 1:00.
These announcements are courtesy of the Hamilton County Democratic Party.
UPDATE: Please see comments below. I misreported earlier as to the nature of the Tuke event; it is, in fact, a fundraiser. My mistake.
The election is closer than you think: early voting begins July 18, and the last day to register (or update your registration) is July 8. (Thanks, Rhonda Thurman.)
The primary winner will be among those challenging U.S. Sen. Lamar Alexander in November. Others running are Daniel Lewis (Libertarian Party), Chris Lugo (Green Party), and David "None of the Above" Gatchell. A comprehensive list can be found here.
