One term Republican TN State Representative Eddie Mannis is not seeking re-election this year. On August 4th, Elaine Davis won the Republican primary contest. It was reported that Davis Democrat opponent Greg Kaplan has announced at a town hall type public meeting that Rep. Mannis has endorsed him in the November 8 General Election. I have confirmed it happened at the Armstein Jewish Center.
Interesting that all the scuttlebutt gnashing of teeth over the 5 Republican County Commissioners, (Rich Beeler, Gina Oster, Terry Hill, Rhonda Lee and Kim Frazier) joining with Democrat County Commissioners Dr. Dasha Lundy and Courtney Durrett in electing Madam Commission Chair Durrett have been silent over Mannis. Is it Gender Bias? Is it because Mannis owns Prestige Cleaning, a dry cleaning business and dry cleaning is expensive bias? Why the silence on the male State Representative but NOT on the one male and four lady Republicans on County Commission?
When Larsen Jay, the Knox County Commissioner at Large Seat 10 (a Republican by a 4,000 vote win) gave a financial contribution to an Independent Knox County School Board candidate opposing Republican School Board nominee Steve Triplett after a controversial news story aired? But there was no condemnation?
RINO endorses Dem. They are the same. Peas in a pod.
Don’t forget that Greg Kaplan supported the pronoun nonsense at UT. If elected you can count on Kaplan to support CRT in K-12 school. Kaplan will reboot the pronoun nonsense at UT if elected.
Elaine Davis is the safe bet.
