Special Election Today in South Shelby

Memphis-area readers, if you live in State Senate District 33, go vote in today's primary for your preferred Republican or Democrat to fill that seat. (If you're supporting either of the two independent candidates, you can sit back until the May 10 election, but we do enjoy open primaries in Tennessee, so you're free to go vote for -- or against -- one of the two-party candidates.)

Roscoe Dixon resigned from this Senate seat to take a position in Shelby County. The County then appointed Sidney Chism for the interim. In today's primary, the Democrats are:

Kathryn Bowers - currently holds the District 87 seat in the House
James Harvey
Michael Hooks - currently a Shelby County Commissioner

The Republicans are:

Mary Lynn Flood
Jason Hernandez
Mary Ann McNeil
Barry Sterling

One each of these will face independents Ian Randolph and Mary Taylor Shelby in the General Election.

My source for this info is Jackson Baker's informative column, and I am keeping the TN Senate candidate page up-to-date as this progresses.
