Tennessee Third District Update
With Congressman Zach Wamp running for Governor, the heavily gerrymandered Third U.S. House District is up for grabs. Here is a draft list of known candidates and potentials for next year's race. (Really, as my friend J.C. Bowman recently pointed out, it's this year's race. Labor Day 2009 will mark a fundraising milestone in the 2010 contest. As the song says, "It's crazy, but it's true.")
Democratic Party
Brent Benedict -- Chattanooga attorney systems analyst
Paula Flowers -- former Insurance Commissioner
Grand Ole Party
Chuck Fleischmann -- Chattanooga attorney
Tim Gobble -- Bradley County Sheriff
Gerald McCormick -- State Representative, 26th District
Robin Smith -- Tennessee Republican Party Chairperson
Bo Watson -- State Senator, 11th District
Additions and clarifications will be forthcoming. If you know of changes that should be made here, please leave a comment.

Tommy Crangle is running for Dist. 3 seat but I don't see him on your list (http://crangleforcongress.com/).

M. Jackson, you're absolutely right. I wrote this post on May 5, before I knew about some of the candidates, and before others had made final decisions.
I am blogging about the Third District over at http://tn03.chattarati.com/ now, where we definitely have Mr. Crangle listed.
Thanks for your comment.
