Candidates Line Up for 2014 Races

Candidates for County offices in Sumner County are lining up for the 2014 election.

Sheriff Sonny Weatherford may again face Stan Hilgadiack.

Circuit Court Clerk Mahaliah Hughes is retiring, and County Commissioner Joe Matthews (who consistently opposed school funding during his terms on the Commission) is seeking the seat along with three others.

Matthews' run for Circuit Court Clerk creates an open seat in District 4.  Democrat Kaye Kemnitz has announced her intention to run.  Also running in District 4 is Frank Freels.

So far, no pro-schools candidate has announced against County Executive Anthony Holt, who is seeking re-election.

District 1 School Board member Vanessa Silkwood, the only Board member to oppose last year's school budget and a proponent of a costly outsourcing scheme for school staff who has questioned whether teachers deserve retirement pay, has announced her re-election bid.  She's the only candidate in District 1 so far. 

More news as announcements happen.
