The Knox County Republican Party Chairman Buddy Burkhardt and Vice Chair Suzanne Dewar were present. Also Knox County General Sessions Court Judge Tony Stansberry.
County Chairman Burkhardt explained that the current Young Republican Club had fallen below the number of paid members to maintain the Federated Charter along with other requirements. Nearly everyone present signed up and elections were held.
