Three days, three districts: Chattanooga election almost over

Early voting for the Chattanooga City Council runoff elections continues at the Hamilton County Election Commission through Wednesday, and district precincts are open next Tuesday, April 14.

If you're just tuning in, the candidates are as follows:

District One
Linda Bennett, incumbent
Deborah Scott, challenger

District Eight
Andrae McGary, challenger
Leamon Pierce, incumbent

District Nine (open seat)
J.T. McDaniel
Peter Murphy*

All three of these could be close, and if voter turnout is anywhere near as abysmally low as it was for the March election (and something tells me it may be even worse), then it takes only a razor-thin margin for one candidate to best the other.

If you live in one of these districts, please do your part and vote. I'm probably "preachin' to the choir" here, but just in case I'm not, I want to invite participation.

*(I keep double-checking, but this is not the lead singer of Bauhaus.)
