This time next year the 2014 elections will be winding down. On August 7, 2014 the State Republican primary and County General Elections will be held. A young entrepreneur Jason Zachary has already begun his challenge of U.S. Congressman John J. Duncan, Jr. in the Republican Primary for Second District U.S House of Representatives.

Zachary recently attended the campaign kickoff of Bob Thomas, a candidate for Knox County Commission at Large. On Thursday night he was the featured Speaker at the Center City Conservatives Republican Club. This morning and afternoon, he and many of his volunteers were over in Blount County at the Louisville Oktoberfest.

As a note of disclosure, Zachary and I are both active members of First Baptist Church, Concord.
