The Democrat primary for County Clerk was a shocker in that Amy Henley Vandergriff became the Democrat nominee for County Clerk overtaking current Interim County Clerk George Stooksbury. Henley Vandergriff campaigned with less than $500 and outpolled Stooksbury 60.06% to 39.94%.
The Republican primary had Foster Arnett, Junior outpolling County Commissioner Scott Moore, former County Commissioner Mike McMillan and Bryan Bates.
This race pits two candidates, one (Vandergriff) with the Experience and Expertise in the Clerk’s office as a staff employee. She can provide real fundamental change in the operation of the Clerk’s office that will benefit the taxpayers of Knox County. The other candidate (Arnett) has no experience in runnning any office, he campaigns with empty rhetoric campaign slogans with no real plan for improving Knox County citizens experience with the Clerk’s office.
