This from Tom Humphreys has Dr. Rick Briggs, a man of affluence bragging he has accumulated more affluence with $170,000 in campaign coin in attempting to defeat State Senator Stacey Campfield. Hold on there, need I remind the Retired Surgeon that he has raised a smitten amount compared to the City of Knoxville Mayors race a couple years ago?

A State Senator -vs- A City Mayor? We will debate the merits of which is a position of greater stature at a later date.

His campaign managers quote about the support skyrocketing is interesting. One she refers to the Dr by his first name and secondly she is boasting of the successful shakedowns of the trial lawyer bar.

This race will get interesting you have the work horse (Campfield) and the best candidate money can buy.
