Anderson County Courthouse

The Anderson County Courthouse on Main Street in Clinton is pictured above.

So far, there are five potential candidates for Anderson County Juvenile Court judge, four for sheriff, and three for chancellor.

An independent has picked up a petition to run for county mayor, possibly opposing Anderson County Mayor Terry Frank, and Tennessee Rep. John Ragan has an opponent in the Aug. 7 Republican primary.

The five candidates for Anderson County Juvenile Court judge are Victoria “Vickie” Bannach, a Clinton Republican; Lauren Biloski, an Oak Ridge Republican; Victoria Bowling, a Heiskell Democrat; J. Michael Clement, a Clinton Democrat; and Brian J. Hunt, a Clinton Republican. They are candidates in the May 6 county primary.

The current juvenile court judge, Brandon Fisher, a Clinton Democrat, is running for Anderson County chancellor in that election. The other two chancellor candidates are Phil Harber, a Clinton Republican, and Robert Warren Wilkinson, an Oak Ridge Republican.

The four candidates for sheriff are Anthony Lay, a Clinton Republican; Randy A. Myers, a Clinton Republican; the current sheriff, Paul N. White, a Clinton Democrat; and Ronald Taylor, a Clinton Independent. Lay, Myers, and White could be on the May 6 primary ballot, and Taylor could be on the Aug. 7 county general election ballot.

Bradley S. Rickett, a Clinton Independent, has picked up a petition to run for Anderson County mayor and could oppose Frank in the Aug. 7 county general election.

Ragan, an Oak Ridge Republican, could be opposed by Caitlin Nolan, also an Oak Ridge Republican, in the Aug. 7 state primary election. So far, Sen. James R. “Randy” McNally, an Oak Ridge Republican, does not have an opponent in that primary.

Anderson County Public Defender Tom Marshall, a Clinton Democrat, could have an opponent in the May 6 county primary. He could be opposed by Kevin C. Angel, an Oak Ridge Republican.

So far, many other candidates do not have opponents in the May 6 county primary. They include Anderson County Criminal and Circuit Court Judge Donald R. Elledge, a Clinton Democrat; District Attorney General Dave Clark, an Oak Ridge Democrat; Don A. Layton, an Oak Ridge Republican and Division 1 General Sessions judge; Ronald N. Murch, an Andersonville Democrat and Division 2 General Sessions judge; Circuit Court Clerk Tyler Mayes, a Clinton Democrat; Trustee Rodney Archer, an Andersonville Democrat; County Clerk Jeff Cole, a Clinton Democrat; Register of Deeds Tim Shelton, a Clinton Democrat; and Road Superintendent Gary Long, a Clinton Republican.

Other candidates for the Aug. 7 county general election are Joshua N. Anderson of Heiskell, who is running for one of two Anderson County Commission seats in District 3; Commissioner Steven R. Emert of Andersonville, who is also running for a seat in District 3; Phillip Warfield of Andersonville, who is also running for a commission seat in District 3; Commissioner Tim Isbel of Lake City, running for re-election in District 4; Commissioner Robert L. McKamey of Clinton, running for re-election in District 5; Commissioner Harry “Whitey” Hitchcock of Oak Ridge, running for re-election in District 6; and Steve Mead of Oak Ridge, also running for re-election in District 6; Commissioner Jerry Creasey of Oak Ridge, running for re-election in District 7; and Oliver Springs City Judge Joseph H. Van Hook.

There is a noon Feb. 20 qualifying deadline for candidates for offices on the May primary ballot, and a noon Feb. 27 withdrawal deadline. The qualifying deadline for the Aug. 7 ballot is noon April 3, and the withdrawal deadline is noon April 10.

See the Anderson County Election Commission website for more information.
