Tamara Shepherd

Knox County School Board candidate Tamara Shepherd, who is running for the District 6 seat, will host her campaign kickoff from 5-8 p.m. on Saturday at Cozy Joe's Cafe and Coffee Loft, located just off Hardin Valley.

She notes in her release that supporters "will gather in the loft for wine and hors d'oeuvres and hear from several Knox County School teachers."

Shepherd faces Brad Buchanan, Terry Hill and Sandra Rowcliffe in the May primary. The county's general election is set for August.
