Sally Absher, who is running for the 4th District
School Board seat, will hold her first campaign shindig from 5 to 7 tonight at
Calhoun’s on Bearden Hill. Her slogan, according to her flyer, is “a voice for
students, teachers, parents, and taxpayers.” She notes that contributions are
appreciated.
Absher is expected to face incumbent Lynne Fugate and
Jeffrey “Scott” Clark” in the election. In addition, Laurel Alford has picked
up a nominating petition to run, but hasn’t turned it in.
Terry Hill, who is running for the 6th District
School Board seat, will host her first shindig on Thursday from 5:30 to 7:30
p.m. at the Barrington Subdivision Clubhouse on 5716 Bridgehampton Drive.
Her campaign email to me this morning noted that she’s been
campaigning for several months, meeting with parents, teachers, principals and
business leaders.
Hill said she is running “to bring real ideas and real
solutions to the challenges facing public education in Knox County.”
“Together we can make sure our children receive the
education they deserve while providing the taxpayers the return on investment
they deserve,” she added.
Hill is expected to face Bradley Buchanan and Tamara
Shepherd in the elections. In addition, Ronald Hennen and Sandra Rowcliffe have
picked up nominating petitions to run for the seat, but haven’t turned ‘em in.
The county primaries are set for May, and the top two vote
getters in school board races will move on to the August elections. The school
board races are non-partisan.
As always, send me your campaign stuff and I’ll post it, so
long as you return my calls if you win. Heh.
