Busler joins Dist. 7 commish race

Knox County Commission candidate Charles Busler, who is running for the District 7 seat, officially kicked off his campaign today with a website launch.

You can find it right smack here.

Busler, who has lived in the Halls/Powell for more than 40 years, is a deacon at Sharon Baptist Church and former long-time employee with Sears Contract Sales. He also served eight years on the Metropolitan Planning Commission.

At this point, he’ll face Bo Bennett in the May Republican primary. Potential Republican candidates Danny Kirby, Rodney Lane and Steve Rogers also picked up nominating petitions but haven’t yet turned them in. (They’re do at noon Feb. 20.)

The general election is set for August.
