Before the nominating process this evening, the Senior County Commissioner from the Eighth District David Wright spoke to the convention and during his talk he explained why it is necessary to vote against the Orange and White Charter Amendments. Wright is supportive of the Republican Party position while an individual Commissioner like Briggs has said that he will oppose the Republican party position in opposing the amendments. It is likely that Briggs will face an ouster complaint from within the Knox County Republican Party. An ouster complaint that could remove him from the Republican Party and will forbid him from using the Republican label in the future.
