On August 3rd, 2006, LP member Heather Scott was re-elected to a second term in the District 22 seat of the Wilson County Commission. Heather has previously served as the Vice-Chair of the LPTN, and she is still very active as the Heartland Regional Coordinator of the LPTN. The LPTN thanks Heather for all the sacrifices she has made to serve in public office, and we congratulate her on her re-election!
LP member Joe Dumas was also running for the District 2 seat on the Hamilton County Commission. Although Joe was not able to unseat his entrenched incumbent opponent, he put up a good fight and ran a campaign we can be proud of. His campaign focused on three main platform points: no tax increases, ending the ineffective and burdensome vehicle inspection program, and defending property owners from eminent domain abuse. See his election results at: http://elect.hamiltontn.gov/results/. The LPTN thanks Joe and Cheree’ Dumas for their willingness to step into these roles and be examples for the rest of us. The LPTN also wants to publicly thank Joe’s volunteer campaign team, including LP members Christian Wilson and Mo Kiah and others, for all the hard work they put into the effort.
Although Greg ‘Lumpy’ Lambert is not a member of the Libertarian Party, the LPTN congratulates him on his election to the District 6, B seat of the Knox County Commission. Lumpy was co-leader of the anti-wheel-tax petition drive in Knox County, and we wish him success in his efforts to reign in the endless property tax increases for politicians’ personal pet projects in Knox County.
