Bend it like Beck

The special election to name a new Sheriff of Hamilton County is in full swing. An estimated forty to fifty supporters and volunteers are gathered at the Bessie Smith Hall in downtown Chattanooga for a reception to raise funds for County Commissioner Greg Beck, who is the Democratic nominee.

Beck's campaign manager, Pam Ladd, is upbeat about her candidate's chances. She cites the Democratic turnout in Tennessee's Presidential Preference Primary on February 5 as a good omen for the August 7 contest that pits Beck against Republican Jim Hammond and independents Tim Akins and Jim Winters.

County Commissioner John Brooks starts things off at the podium and introduces the candidate. I'm off to man the camcorder, and will update this post later with a summary of Beck's remarks and some reactions.
