A reader sent this to me recently. I was told it was posted on 9/30/2018. Knoxville Mayoral candidate Eddie Mannis says he is a Republican.

After a hard fought Republican Primary in 2018 for Governor between four great candidates, Bill Lee, Diane Black, Randy Boyd and Beth Harwell.

Mannis went with Gov. Bill Lee’s opponent or 41.12% of Knox County voters.

Gov. Bill Lee is a businessman, he ran a successful HVAC company in Middle TN which still operates but not at Lee’s direction as he is Governor.
