In the 189th episode of the Brian Hornback Experience here , I dive into the latest political happenings in Tennessee, focusing on the 2026 elections, recent GOP events, and the upcoming City of Knoxville Primary Election.
2026 Tennessee Elections
I provide a brief update on the candidates stepping up for the 2026 elections in Tennessee. With campaigns already taking shape, I discuss who’s throwing their hat in the ring and what to watch for as the race heats up.
Recent GOP Events
Over the past couple of weeks, Tennessee’s GOP has been busy. I highlight two key events from August 16, 2025:
- Speaker Sexton’s Burgers and Brews: A lively gathering hosted by House Speaker Cameron Sexton, bringing together GOP supporters for good food and political discussion.
- Sumner County Dinner: Another major event where Republicans connected, shared ideas, and rallied for the future.
Both events showcased the energy and momentum within Tennessee’s Republican Party.
City of Knoxville Primary Election
Mark your calendars! The City of Knoxville Primary Election is set for August 26, 2025, just a week from Tuesday. I break down what’s at stake, key candidates, and why this election matters for Knoxville’s future.
