I just received this press release via email.
Ray Jenkins makes a statement regarding his candidacy for the General Session Judge, Division II for Knox County.
“Due to recent developments, I am suspending my campaign for Judge. I would not be able to run the vigorous campaign the people of Knox County deserve. This decision is made after serious consideration and prayer. I want to thank all who expressed support.”
Jenkins currently serves, and will continue to serve, as a Magistrate in Knox County, a position he has held for more than seven years.
