Last evening at Rothchild’s Banquet Hall the Knox County Lincoln Day Dinner was held. It was a success with hundreds of republicans present to hear U.S. senator Lindsay Graham. One long-time active republican commented to me that Senator Graham was the best speaker ever at this annual event.

Even tough the event is hosted by the Knox County Republican Officeholders, there were Republicans from Anderson County, Roane County, Monroe County, Sevier County, Jefferson County and several others.

My campaign to be the next GOP chairman was real and public last evening. Many Young Republicans assisted me in asking people to wear lapel stickers. Thank You to all that helped and Thank You to the people that wore them on my behalf. The campaign has been conducted the old-fashioned way word of mouth. I have spent many hours talking on the phone with the great republicans in this county and attending many of the 13 club meetings around Knox County.

I am appreciative of all the support that I have received thus far, and when elected on Saturday March 12th, 2005 10:00am at West High School, I will begin working hard at restoring the 13 city wards and 5 county precinct executive committees and by helping to energize the grassroots.

Thank You again to all. Especially the YR’s that have worked so hard on my behalf.
