James Corcoran, local attorney and Chair of the Knox County Board of Zoning Appeals, has indicated that he will not be filing a petition to run for Knox County Commission District 3, despite having named a Treasurer earlier this year.

“I’ve received a new opportunity in my legal career that would make it unlikely that I could provide the attention that the people of Knox County’s 3rd District deserve,” states Corcoran.

Corcoran further states, “I’m always looking for ways to make my community a better place for our families, and I will continue to do so as long as I can contribute.”
