Today the Knox County Republican Party held a reorganization at Central High School. Randy Pace was elected Chairman with 6 more votes than Eddie Smith.

The funniest part was everyone wanting to pin a candidate to Brian Hornback. I like both Smith and Pace. A week or so ago, I was told that Robert Lawrence Smith was telling people that Pace was Brian Hornback’s guy. So either way, it seems Hornback won.

Suzanne Dewar was Elected Vice Chair

Gary Loe was Elected Secretary

Judson Davis was Elected Treasurer

State Representative Martin Daniel offered a motion to give the Executive Committee the authority to compensate the Chairman. Many individuals perceived this was an effort for Smith and likely cost him a significant number of votes.
