Election 2022 kicks off

Knox County’s Primary is May 3, and early voting begins Wednesday, April 13. Midnight, Monday, April 4 is the last day to register to vote in the Primary.

Farragutpress will be profiling several Republican candidates in the weeks ahead because no Democratic contested Primary elections involve, either directly or indirectly, the Farragut area.

This will change, of course, to include Democratic candidates in the County General Election Aug. 4, which is also Election Day in the Town of Farragut.

Farragutpress will also profile candidates for the two open Town Aldermen seats and the office of Mayor. As of Tuesday, March 29, only Mayoral candidate and incumbent Mayor Ron Williams and Alderman Ward 2 candidate Marty Layman have returned petitions. Incumbent Alderman Scott Meyer and candidate Steven Cameron have picked up but not yet returned petitions for Alderman Ward 1. Sean Murphy has picked up petitions for both Mayor and Alderman Ward 2 but has not returned either. Deadline for returning petitions is noon Thursday, April 7.
